EASTER TIME

Easter

Easter is an important Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are many different customs for celebrating Easter around the world, but the Friday before Easter Sunday (Good Friday) and the Monday after are given as a bank holiday in the UK.

Early celebrations included the painting of eggs, which represented Jesus' empty tomb. Now we give Easter eggs - often chocolate - to friends and family, and have Easter egg hunts for eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.

Activity Village has a huge selection of Easter activities for you to enjoy with your kids, including colouring pages, printables, jokes, crafts and puzzles! Explore below.

ST. PATRICK 17 de marzo

El día 17 de marzo es al celebración de San Patricio, es una fiesta irlandesa que honra a San Patricio, quien fuera el misionero que evangelizo y llevó el Cristianismo a la Isla en el siglo 400 DC.

San Patricio cuyo nombre real era Maewyn Succat, fue secuestrado a la edad de 16 por piratas y estos lo vendieron  como esclavo. Estuvo cautivo durante 6 años  tras los cuales logró escapar y tras estudiar religión en Europa viajo a Irlanda para llevar la palabra de Cristo allí. Él se acostumbró a usar el trébol de tres hojas, como una metáfora para explicar el concepto del Trinidad (padre, hijo y espíritu santo).

La leyenda cuenta que San Patricio condujo a  todas las serpientes fuera de Irlanda,  entrando en el mar y se ahogaron. La explicación seria que la serpiente era un símbolo pagano venerado, y quizás éste era un cuento figurativo que alude al hecho que él alejo el paganismo fuera de Irlanda. 

En esta fiesta es típico vestirse de color verde porque es el color de  primavera en Irlanda y además el color del trébol

 Otra figura legendaria es un duende, "Leprechaun", nombre que deriva de la palabra irlandesa "luchorpan" que significa "el cuerpo pequeño".    Es una especie de  nomo irlandés, representado como un pequeño anciano. De acuerdo con la leyenda irlandesa esos seres viven de forma solitaria y se pasan el tiempo haciendo zapatos. Se dice de estos duendes que esconden tesoros de oro y si se les atrapa deben revelar el secreto de su tesoro. Pero no debe perderlos de vista porque si ellos escapan también se escapan las esperanzas de obtener el tesoro.
 Otro icono tradicional del día de San Patricio es la hoja de trébol fue usado por San Patricio para explicar el misterio del Trinidad, las tres hojas del trébol que representa el Trinidad (el Padre, el Hijo y el espíritu santo). Cuenta la leyenda que estaba San Patricio frente a un grupo de celtas tratándoles de explicar el misterio de la Santísima Trinidad, pero aunque lo intentaba no lo lograba, de pronto San Patricio miró al suelo, y notó como frente a sus pies crecía un trébol en medio de la hierba.
San Patricio arrancó la pequeña planta y la mostró al grupo de celtas, explicando que de la misma manera que de un solo tallo brotaban tres hojas, así el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo era uno solo. Los irlandeses desde entonces unieron el trébol a San Patricio y adoptaron el trébol como símbolo nacional. Hasta el momento el trébol sigue siendo el emblema nacional de Irlanda y es llevado orgullosamente por personas irlandesas en todo el mundo el Día de San Patricio (17 de marzo).

Y ahora la leyenda mágica de los duendes (leprechauns) mágicos en español:

I have always been certain
Things are not always what they seem
Though the heavens stop turning
I'll be holding on to our dream
We can fly away, fly away
No more doubt, we'll have nothing left to say
Fly away, fly away
From the darkness to the sun
Let our spirits be as one
You heard
My Word
My Hope
My Call
We can fly away over
You gave
Your Hand
Your Heart
Your All
We can fly away over it all
In our magical moment
You reached out and touched the real me
Now there's no storm before us
As strong as the love we both feel
We can fly away, fly away
If we give our love, love will come our way
Fly away, fly away
From the darkness to the sun
Let our spirits be as one
You Heard
My Word
My Hope
My Call
We can fly away over
You gave
Your Hand
Your Heart
Your All
We can fly away over it all
Fly away over
You Heard
My Word
My Hope
My Call
We can fly away over
You gave
Your Hand
Your Heart
Your All
We can fly away over it all
