This year, Easter falls at the beginning of April, a time associated with the first warming rays of spring sunshine, nature slowly coming to life and brighter days inviting us to enjoy wonderful outdoor activities.
Children eagerly prepare for the Easter egg hunt, dress up as colourful Easter witches and set off on adventures with friends and family. At Easter dinner, loved ones gather around the table to enjoy good food and fellowship. It is a time filled with joy, hope and anticipation for what is to come. It is a time for fellowship, traditions and enjoying good food in the peaceful surroundings of the archipelago.
