This coming Sunday is Easter. Having been colonial British, and with a large Christian population, Hong Kong still includes Good Friday (today) and Easter Monday as public holidays, so it's a long weekend. In the past, many combine this with a few day's leave and fly off to other countries for a vacation. Now...sigh...
Just a few days ago, a fellow HKer, a well-being coach soon to return to HK, asked me through wechat whether there is Easter holiday in the PRC. I was surprised by the naivete, and said, no Christian holidays (including Christmas), no Buddha Birthday (also a HK holiday), nothing but state related holidays.
This year's Easter will be horrible for many Orthodox Christians, which is next week on the Julian Calendar. Certainly for all Ukranians still in their country or in exile. It will also be horrible for many of the Russian soldiers on the frontline and their families. Let's hope there shall be a truce by then.
