Easter is the celebration of the rising of Christ. Catholics and others of the Christian faith celebrate this feast each year, often forgoing something for Lent (giving up chocolate for 40 days!) But today it’s become a consumerist nightmare, and forgotten the original meaning. The best way to celebrate Jesus Christ is to not buy into the consumerism that celebrates him. Just go to church or set up a passion play instead!
Easter is the traditional Catholic festival to celebrte the resurrection of Christ. What puts many people off the Christian religion is the way that some churches treat animals. But in fact, Jesus protected birds to sheep and some of the best-known saints in history (like St Francis of Assisi) protected animals (it was said that fish would jump out of the air and birds would fly to him, to listen to his stories!)

Keep hot cross buns away from pets as they contain toxic ingredients (dried fruits, nutmeg/mace and sometimes chocolate). Keep fresh dough away from pets, as it can expand in the stomach.
Hot cross buns are a traditional treat, invented by Christians in Rome, to eat during Easter. Designed to celebrate the resurrection of Christ, the sweet dough is baked with raisins, and usually served toasted with butter. Jesus Christ would not approve of people celebrating his resurrection with factory-farmed and plastic-wrapped treats.
