The Great Big Art Exhibition Some of these ideas would be perfect contribution to the Great Big Art Exhibition, which runs until 7 May. Firstsite, a UK arts centre, are encouraging people anywhere in the UK to create their own piece of art and display it in their windows, balconies, or anywhere it will be visible to others. You can then share it with them on social media – remember to tag us too, we don’t want to miss out! Find out more at www.firstsite.uk www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/creative What you’ll need: Eggs (whatever size you have) Bowl, Pin Glue, Crafty bits (card, pens, fluffy bits, felt, glitter etc) Inspiration pictures might be helpful Instructions: There are three options when making your egg characters. - Hard boil your eggs—makes them solid to work with, but they’ll go off after a while. - Use a raw egg—a bit more fragile (especially if you drop them!) and will go off eventually. - ‘Blow’ the eggs—this gets the runny stuff out and means you can keep your egg team for longer, but you’ll have to be extra careful with the shells which will be fragile. To blow the eggs: use a pin (or get an adult to help with a sharp knife) and make a hole in the top and bottom of the egg. Holding it over a bowl, blow through one of the holes until all of the egg yolk and white has come out. You can use the egg yolk and white for cooking. Rinse out the shell with water and leave to dry somewhere very safe! The egg is now very fragile. Now the fun part! Use your crafty bits to colour in the faces on the eggs, and to make hair, hands and feet, even little clothes and accessories! Let your imagination run wild! Look at your inspiration pictures for ideas. Display in a window, hang on a tree, or post online using #JoysOfSpring, and we’ll share them too. Some tips A section of toilet roll tube makes a good stand for your egg—glue it on and make it look like legs. Some furry material or wool glued to the top makes great hair! Got any old dolls clothes or accessories? Use these to instantly dress up your egg. When you try any of our activities, please share pics with us by posting on our social channels and/or using #JoysOfSpring www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/creative Germany In Germany, families hang decorated eggs in trees and bushes to turn them into Easter egg trees. It’s like Christmas tree baubles, but for spring! Have you got a tree you could decorate for spring? Norway Mystery stories are a big tradition—probably started quite recently—at Easter. Called paskekrim, they even feature on special milk cartons! Agatha Christie sto- ries are especially popular— join in and watch some Poirot films! Denmark Danish families follow the gækkebrev tradition of sending relatives and friends anonymous creative paper cuttings, often featuring a snowdrop and a rhyme. If you can guess who sent the cutting, then the sender owes you an Easter egg! They’re made in the same way you might make a paper snowflake. Bermuda In this island nation, one favourite Easter traditions is making and flying kites. Meant to symbolise Jesus ascending into heaven, it can be enjoyed by anyone of any religion and is a great excuse to get out and have fun. Can you make a kite? Burmudians also traditionally eat fish cakes at this time of year! Guatemala In southern Guatemala the streets are covered in colourful ‘carpets ‘ throughout Easter. The carpets are made from flowers, coloured sawdust, fruits, vegetables and sand. Could you decorate a pavement with chalk drawings? When you try any of our activities, please share pics with us by posting on our social channels and/or using #JoysOfSpring www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/creative Simnel Cookies (UK—sort-of) You might have had a traditional simnel cake before, (a fruit cake with marzipan on top) but how about trying these simnel cookies, for a quicker and lighter bake? They look yummy! Recipe: https://bit.ly/2NDrWfV Babka (Eastern Europe) A versatile bake, a babka might be more like cake or bread, but it’s always yeasted. Here’s a really pretty version which promises to be easy and authentic. Recipe: https://bit.ly/3cQAbOm Colomba di Pasqua (Italy) This is similar to a pannettone which you might have eaten at Christmas (or in an Ital- ian-style coffee shop chain!) It’s meant to look like a dove (‘colomba’ in Italian). Recipe: https://bit.ly/3raEWr2 Koulourakia (Greek) These Greek biscuits include sesame seeds and orange. Traditionally moulded into S shapes or braids, but you could make any shape you like. Bunnies perhaps? Recipe: https://bit.ly/3cdmXwd Kugelis (Lithuania) In Lithuania it wouldn’t be Easter without some kugelis. It’s a potato dish served alongside a main meal, and includes bacon, onion and evaporated milk. Recipe: https://bit.ly/3tW7E0X Torta Pascualina (Argentina) Literally translated to ‘Eastertime Tart’ this luscious pie includes ricotta, hard boiled eggs, spinach and artichoke. Recipe: https://bit.ly/3c9TLWJ Note—we haven’t tested these recipes and lots of different versions are available. If you don’t like one of them, or you’re missing an ingredient, just search online for other recipes with the same name. When you try any of our activities, please share pics with us by posting on our social channels and/or using #JoysOfSpring www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/creative Tick off the signs of spring as you spot them! Bluebells White blossom Catkins Primroses Lambs Bird building a nest Birds eggs (you mustn’t disturb a nest, so Frogspawn you’ll need to look out for shells on the ground) Daffodils Wild garlic Grape hyacinth First butterfly Pink blossom Bees First leaf Ducklings www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/creative What you’ll need A hat you can stick or sew things onto OR Some cardboard to make a hat Ribbon or string Glue and/or tape Sewing thread and needle Easter themed bits and pieces! Instructions Pick your hat—you can use anything from a bobble hat to a straw sun hat! If you don’t have a hat you can use, you can make one with cardboard—you’ll need a circle, a long rectangle and a ring shape (to make the brim).

  • The Magazine of the Launceston Area Methodist Church April 2021 Edition 207
    The Magazine of the Launceston Area Methodist Church April 2021 Edition 207 1 Dear Friends It is a great privilege to be asked to write an Easter message this year to you. We have all had a difficult year because of COVID 19 and I believe that the last three months have been especially difficult. The long days of restrictions have been hard for all of us and we have all probably wondered when they will come to an end so that life can go back to normal. I find it a great comfort to go out on walks with my dog Sam. Sam’s favourite place to go is wherever there are woodlands and if there’s a river as well that’s even better! He loves to chase after sticks and if they go in the water he loves to swim after them. Frank and I get a great deal of pleasure from watching Sam but we also enjoy hearing the birds singing, the golden heads of the daffodils, the snowdrops, the primroses and the trees bursting into blossom; all these things are signs of new life and the promise that warmer weather is on the way. The message of Easter is all about new life, love and hope. It is about the true story of God’s love and forgiveness of sins shown to us through the death of Jesus, His Son; it is also a celebration that God raised Jesus to new life so that our joy may be complete as we trust in Him and follow in His ways.

  • Mosaico Culturale Marzo E Aprile 2021 Thank
    North Bay Italian Cultural Foundation Mosaico Culturale Marzo e Aprile 2021 Volume XXXVI I– Numero 2 Founded in 1984, NBICF brings people of all ancestries together to share all things Italian Messaggio del Presidente - George Golfieri- 707-843-3176 Cari Amici, I hope all of you and your families and friends remain in good health during this pandemic. This past year has been like no other that we will remember for years to come. Two months into 2021 and the pandemic continues to af- fect our lives. However, I am optimistic that 2021 will be a better year as COVID-19 vaccines are beginning to be administered. Hang in there as there is light at the end of the tunnel and we can once again come together to cele- brate our Italian traditions and culture. As they say in Italy, “andra tutto bene”. Everything will be alright. Financially, the Foundation ended 2020 with $37,648 in the bank, a balance much lower than in previous years. The pandemic had an impact on the Foundation’s ability to generate income to cover fixed expenses. The majority of income is generated from membership dues, donations, dinners, and fundraisers. The Foundation depends on these sources of income to support the scholarship programs, cultural events and to cover operating expenses. The Foundation depends on its members to support its fundraisers and events. Donations also go a long way to sup- porting the Foundation’s mission and our home, the Italian Cultural Center, as this is our heritage that binds us to- gether as Italian Americans and to further the Foundation’s commitment to the North Bay Italian community.

The time Reflecting on this Gospel reading this week reminds us when the very core of the Christian miracle is of the damage and despair we have the power to represented in prayer and praise through the sacred unknowingly inflict when we impose our self-serving rites. I find this time of the year humbling and awe- agendas rather than the Lord’s agenda. inspiring. Since we celebrate this important week once On Maundy Thursday we gather to share in all that a year, I would like to explain the rich symbols which Jesus did on His last night. We experience a deeper help to make real the events surrounding the Passion level of intimacy with Jesus at the Supper and watch and Resurrection of Jesus. with Him as He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. Holy Week begins with a liturgy properly named We acknowledge that on Thursday night in the garden, Palm/Passion Sunday.

  • Family Friendly Simnel Cake
    FAMILY FRIENDLY SIMNEL CAKE This time of year it’s traditional to make a Simnel cake. So we got busy in the Babease kitchen and thought we would have a go at a gluten-free, refined sugar-free version that is just as yummy as the original recipe yet much healthier. It's also super easy to make and perfect for the whole family to enjoy! We also chose to make our own marzipan to keep the cake sugar free! The almonds we used were quite coarse which gives it a nutty texture but feel free to use finer ground almonds if you want to get a more traditional finish. WHAT YOU NEED WHAT TO DO For the Marzipan: Start off by making the marzipan. Empty all the ingredients into a bowl and knead until you get a dough that is not too sticky. 250g ground almonds Add more almonds if it sticks to your hands. 3 tablespoons maple syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (use almond essence if you Knead for 3-5 minutes - it is a good job to give to your little one like a stronger almond flavour) if they are old enough to help out! Wrap with cling film and put to one side. It can also be done a day in advance. To make the cake - For the Cake: Pre-heat the oven to 150 degrees then grease and line an 8- 250g Medjool dates, roughly chopped inch cake tin. 200ml boiling water 100g soft butter Put the chopped dates into a pan with the hot water and the 1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate soda bicarbonate of soda.
