If you have been a tad confused about the actual dates, join the crowd, but this blog is actually being created on Sunday, April 12, in Japan, but it is still April 11 in Hawaii and the rest of the USA.

EASTER SUNDAY

.

Easter is the holiest of Christian observances. There is Christmas, which is generally fixed as December 25, the birth of Christ, or Jesus. But Easter is a moveable feast, and can occur anytime from March 22 to April 25. This year, it is April 12, or today.

Lent is the 40-day period leading to Easter, when Jesus fasted in the wilderness. This 40 day period is common in the Bible, as for example, the 40 days/nights of Noah and that of Moses. According to surmisals, the Last Supper occurred on Thursday, the day before Good Friday, when Jesus was crucified, but resurrected on Easter Sunday. AD 33 was approximately the time frame, but, remember, most of this “history” was written long after it actually happened. A few details were presented in SIMPLE SOLUTIONS for Humanity, where some skepticism was postulated as to the actual reality. Yes, someone was no doubt crucified, but is the story a brilliant fabrication? Was the beginning of Christianity the greatest story ever created by Man? Next to notion of a God and the Afterlife, of course. Amen.

For one, there is nothing about Easter in The Bible. Today, in much of the Western World, there are greeting cards, Easter eggs, marshmallow bunnies and Peeps.

Continuing our Shinkansen adventure and roots search, we spent some time at the Miyazaki Zoo, Florante Miyazake, and Seagaia onsen. In reference to the non-biblical photos above, we start with Pearl in her kimono with a view from our room, while the white building is the Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort. Our room is on the 26th floor at the corner facing you. That round spheroid is the fabled Miyazaki orange. Yes, it looks like a regular orange, and, not surprisingly, tastes like one

We are now in Kyoto.
