Easter is , April 4th

HISTORY OF

In the Christian religion, Easter is the celebration of the Christ. The event is said to have occurred three days after Jesus was cruci- fied by the Romans and died in roughly 30A.D. Springtime is considered to bring new life and rebirth. Eggs have been an ancient symbol of fertility. After the 40-day period called , Easter takes place on a Sunday. Partici- pants of Lent focus on giving up one significant indulgence even though Lent is referred to as a time of fasting. During the week of leading up to Easter, is celebrated. Holy Week begins on and commemo- rates Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, when followers laid palm leaves across the road to greet him. It continues to Maundy (the celebration of Je- sus’ with his 12 Apostles). is when Jesus’ crucifix- ion is observed. Then finally Easter Sunday is celebrated.

For Christians, Easter is the time when we remember what Jesus did for us. He died for our sins, came back to life, and is now waiting for us in heaven!

When a group of young Moravian men in Hernhut, Saxony held the first recorded in 1732, this represented Easter. They went to their cemetery called God’s Acre. At sunrise, they wor- shiped the memory of the women who went to the tomb early on the first Easter morning and discov- ered it empty. Moravian immigrants brought the custom to America. The first service was held in the United States in 1743.

Due to the Vernal , Easter falls on a different day every year. You can blame the moon for that. Jewish Passover is celebrated during the first full moon after the vernal equinox. This is also known as the first day of spring. Christ’s death coincides with the Passover. For the Christian church by the Council of Nicaea, the rule was set stating that Easter would be held on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox.

Many traditions surround the entire Lent season, Holy Week, and Easter Sunday. Observed traditions across the globe include the Easter bunny, colored eggs, gift baskets, and flowers. A few more inter- esting traditions from around the world:

1. In Australia, bunnies are considered pests that ruin crops and land. Aussies celebrate with their na- tive marsupial, the Bibly, which has large ears and a pointy nose. 2. In Poland on , boys try to soak people with buckets of water. This tradition has been rooted in the baptism of Polich Prince Mieszko on Easter Monday in 996. 3. In Greece, the morning of Holy is known as the annual "pot throwing" where residents throw pots out of windows. This is a tradition used to mark the beginning of spring and new crops being gathered in new pots. 4. In Europe, there are large bonfires called Easter Fires that are lit on Easter Sunday into Monday. The Saxon origin is that the fires will chase away winter and Easter will bring spring.

The Easter Bunny wasn't always the pink or white bunny that hides chocolate eggs in your house. He was called the Easter Hare. He has been described as a large, handsome bird that belonged to Eostre, the Pagan Goddess of , fertility, and new beginnings. Eostre changed him into a rabbit. That is why the Easter Bunny now builds a nest and fills it with colored eggs.

In some countries, like England and Germany, kids roll eggs down hills on East- er morning. This is looked at like a game of rolling of the rock away from Jesus Christ's tomb when He was resurrected. Also, believers saw the rabbit coming out of its underground home as a symbol for Jesus coming out of the tomb.

The annual Roll got its start sometime between 1867 and 1872. It was initially held on the grounds of the Capitol, but it is now illegal to do so. Rep. William Steele Holman of Indiana, the chair- man of the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, was annoyed by the tradition. The Turf Act” was passed in 1876 by Holman which made it illegal to use any portion of the Capitol grounds or ter- races as playgrounds or otherwise. All of this was done in the name of protecting the grass. Since 1877, when rain pushed rollers indoors anyway, the law has been enforced. President Rutherford B. Hayes found a workaround in 1878.

On the Saturday before Easter in 1878, the president was approached by a group of children while out on his daily walk. Hayes was asked about the Easter Egg Roll. The group of children asked if they could have it on the White House lawn since the Capitol was unavailable. Hayes returned to the White House from his walk. He asked his chief if it would be possible. An official order was issued by the White House saying any child who arrived at the White House on Monday after Easter could take place in an Easter Egg Roll. That Monday, because so many kids showed up at the White House, the White House had to turn children away. The White House Easter Egg Roll event has been celebrated by the President of the United States and their families since 1878.

Update on Covid-19 Vaccinations from Loudoun.gov Loudoun County Makes Significant Progress on Vaccination Waitlist

• Loudoun County continues to make progress through the waitlist of people who are pre-registered for a COVID-19 vaccine. As a result, the county is currently making vaccination appointments for peo- ple who are pre-registered and in Virginia’s Phase 1a and 1b priority groups. Anyone who has not yet pre-registered for a COVID-19 vaccine and is among those in the Phase 1a and 1b priority groups—such as health care workers, people 65 years and older and 16-to-64 years old with high-risk medical condi- tions or a disability, and front-line essential workers listed in the eleven categories of the Phase 1b pri- ority group—should pre-register for a vaccine as soon as possible.

“What this means is that if you are in Phase 1a or 1b, we are now able to offer you a vaccination ap- pointment within a week or so of your pre-registration,” said Loudoun County Health Director Dr. David Goodfriend. “The time between pre-registration and invitation for a vaccination appointment is no longer taking weeks for this group, so if you haven’t signed up yet, now is the time to do so.”

The Health Department encourages anyone who has already pre-registered for a vaccine and is in the Phase 1a or 1b priority groups, but has not yet been contacted by the county for a vaccination appoint- ment, to take two actions:

• First, check your spam or junk email folder for an email from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) which is used to pre-register, to ensure the invitation for an appointment was not sent there. • Second, if you have not received an email, contact the county by calling 703-737-8300, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

“We recognize that there are some glitches with some pre-registrations, so we’re taking steps to en- sure no one falls through the cracks,” said Dr. Goodfriend.

April showers are going to bring more than just flowers. On April 3rd, we get to celebrate National Find a Rain- bow Day. Rainbows have always felt somewhat magical to us. And who can blame us? Rainbows are beautiful and a little mysterious. On this colorful holiday we can really find time to explore and relish in one of nature’s greatest beauties. Rainbows are caused by the reflection, refraction, and dispersion of light in water, resulting in a visual spec- trum of light appearing in the sky, taking the form of a multicolored arc. They always appear on the side of the sky directly opposite to the sun. Don’t go chasing rainbows, because they’re not necessarily located at a specific distance from where you observe them. They’re an optical illusion viewed from a certain angle to a relative light source, meaning the closer you try to get, the further away it goes. Even if you see someone who appears to be standing right beneath the rainbow, they’ll see a differ- ent rainbow further off into the distance.

Shake off the dirt and wear your best orange on this International Carrot Day, on April 4th. You’ll never catch us without a pack of carrots in the crisper and that’s because this vegetable is not only highly affordable with a long shelf life but is also exceedingly beneficial for our health. Whether they’re brightening our winter soups or compli- menting the cream cheese icing in our cakes, carrots are always a welcome guest on any plate. Due to the carrot’s longevity when stored in the refrigerator, it often makes appearances in dishes for all seasons, from spring to au- tumn to winter. Carrots are also among the vegetables that can be eaten raw and fresh, with only a little scrub un- der cool water as preparation. When raw, the crunch of a carrot can be heard from many feet away. Carrots can be served as a sweet treat in carrot cake, or as a savory accompaniment to meats such as salmon and chicken.

Oh, pizza. Is there a single food more universally beloved that is also so incredibly divisive? The most contentious of these divisions comes between New Yorkers and their New York-style slices and Chicagoans and their deep dish pies. Deep dish pizza was invented in the Windy City in 1943 by Ike Sewell, founder of Uno’s Pizzeria. It became so popular that it spun into a huge national chain and inspired dozens upon dozens of other deep dish pizzerias in major cities across the world. So tuck a napkin into your collar, grab a fork and knife (you’ll need them), and celebrate National Deep Dish Pizza Day with us this April 5th!

Each year on April 6th, National Caramel Popcorn Day conjures up memories of fairs, sporting events, and fun snacking. Combining popcorn and molasses began in the early 1800s. However, caramel was prevalent as well, and with the production of Cracker Jack, the popularity was ever-increasing. Invented by Frederick Rueckheim, the popcorn merchant dabbled with creating a new snack. An immigrant from Germany to Chicago, he enlisted his brother, Louis, to help. After adding molasses and nuts, their snack was ready for an introduction to the masses. Like many famous foods, Cracker Jack gained popularity on the stage of the 1893 World’s Fair. However, in 1908, something happened to connect Cracker Jack and baseball permanently in the American psyche, while also launching the business into high gear. A young entertainer by the name of Jack Norworth penned a catchy tune referencing Cracker Jack and the American pastime. The song “Take Me Out to The Ballgame” not only caused sales of the snack food to soar but the fans of the game continue to sing the song at every game.

April 7th is a chance to revel in National No Housework Day. Put down the laundry and toss out the to-do list. For this one day, we can give ourselves a break and do what we want around the house. Maintaining a clean and livable home can sometimes feel like a never-ending chore. As soon as you have finished the washing and the cleaning, it all needs doing again, and again, and again. Well, that’s why National No Housework Day is here, to allow yourself a break, meaning that for one day at least, you don’t need to worry about the housework.

Each year on April 8th, National Zoo Lovers Day encourages us to explore our local zoos. Each year millions of people visit zoos and learn about the many animals that live there. Also known as zoological parks, many of them serve as breeding centers. These facilities are relied upon when species are endangered or at risk of becoming endangered. They also provide education to the pub- lic about a broad variety of animals and their habitats. Enjoy seeing your favorite animals swinging from the trees or splashing in the water and have a fun-filled day. A few zoo facts: • The Vienna Zoo is the oldest existing zoo and was opened to the public in 1765. • The United State’s first public zoo, Central Park Zoo, opened in 1874 in New York. • There are 350 zoos in the United States • Approximately 175 million people visit a zoo each year. • Disney’s Animal Kingdom has had more than 9.8 million annual visitors. • More than 3.2 million people visit the San Diego Zoo each year.

National Unicorn Day on April 9th is a day to celebrate the most popular mythical creature ever. Why? Be- cause if we don’t take time out to celebrate a beautiful, horned, rainbow–printed mythical creature then we’re most definitely missing a trick. The unicorn is a symbol of happiness, fantasy, and wonder. It’s an icon of color, of childlike splendor and . They often make appearances on birthday cakes and children’s clothing, and let’s be honest quite a lot of us adults still dig them too. National Unicorn Day is your chance to express some unicorn love, so show some color and delve into the magnificence of unicorns with us! 15

Manju’s Poem This poetry is about the beauty of Spring season.

“ऋतुराज बसंत “ ÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

तीर प्रखर थे शिशिर ऋतु के ,शिनकर भी िर्मीला था ,

कोहरे की चािर ओढे ,अवनी का 셂प निीला था ।

रश्मिरथी की चर्मक संजोये, आया प्रेर्मी बसंत पागल ,

धरती ने भी हटा के चािर, शिखलाया अपना तन घायल ।

पतझड़ को शिर शकया शकनारे, र्मुस्कानों का िूल शिया ,

र्मन र्मᴂ जो अनुराग छुपा था, वो नयनों ने खोल शिया ।

धरा के र्मुरझाये अधरों पर, र्मंि र्मंि श्मित लाया ,

सजी िुल्हन सी शिर यह धरती ,सबका र्मन भी हर्ााया ।

अशभसार शकया अवनी ने अपना, पहनी पीत रंग चुनरी,

छलक उठा धरती का यौवन, जैसे नीर भरी गगरी ।

नाजुक नार स饃श्य पतंगे, अम्बर पर करती अठखेली,

ऋतुराज पर र्मंत्रर्मुग्ध हो, कोयल कुके है अलबेली ।

पहन बसंती वस्त्र सभी जन, करते स्वागत ऋतुराज का ,

हो जाती चԁ शििा र्मनोरर्म, स्नेह छलकता ऋतुराज का ।
