  1. Easter Sunday

    Share Share Post
    Long ago on Easter Sunday morning the old people used to go the the tops of hills to watch the sun rise and to see it turn three times in the sky.
    Every family has a feast on that day. Small children go to hills and fields and light fires where the boil eggs and make tea. Then the all sit around and have a feast which the enjoy very much.
