This year Thorntons wanted to show us their range of chocolate Easter eggs and gifts which all look scrumptious but we got a sneaky chance to try one out in the run up to Easter.

In whatever language, Easter today is a Christian holiday to celebrate Christ’s resurrection—and the reminder that death brings life. In a time when children's Easter excitement often focuses on only egg hunts and candy, this book offers a different-and true-reason for joy and expectancy. It's designed to be read and reread on the days leading up to Easter, telling the greatest story and building a sense of anticipation and celebration in little hearts. What I liked most about this book is that is started at the beginning, with Adam and Eve, and took the reader all the way to present day.Both of my kids became enthralled with the book from the first time I read it to them and my daughter immediately asked me to read it again when I had finished.

Going back to the Hebrew Bible and the story of the first Passover, Moses tells the Israelites to slaughter a Passover lamb and paint its blood on their door. Second, a number of folks have asked me where the idea for Easter is Coming came from, including most recently a colleague who is teaching a course on media, culture, and the gospel.So, the Paschal Full Moon is the 14th day of a lunar month occurring on or after March 21 according to a fixed set of ecclesiastical calendar rules, which does not always match the date of the astronomical full Moon nearest the astronomical spring equinox.
