There are other folks that celebrate passover and begin with a parade in Jerusalem. This tradition is express tongue in cheek here at AC. Read about it in "A Rabi's Diary from long ago" @ http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/188236/rabis_diary_from_long_ago.html?cat=9

To me every holiday needs a little humor just to keep the grins ready for those pictures everyone needs to take. So I begin yet another yarn about the Christian Holiday called Easter. Some folks need a yarn/parable to understand the blessings of this day.

The rebel Rabi had traveled the streets and roads of his native land sharing his love and giving the multitudes examples of life without judgment. He was accompanied by his twelve drinking buddies everywhere he went. They came to celebrate the feast of Passover in the traditional manner. Lamb, bread, wine and all the normal enhancements that were dictated by tradition filled the table. Th Rabi had even ordered some eggs be decorated to make the event even more festive.

Following this great feast the Rabi suggested a walk in the garden. His purpose was to walk off a few calories and give his drinking buddies a chance for some prayer and meditation. Several of the group had consumed too much wine and needed some fresh air. Judas had eaten too many baked beans enhanced with too many hard boiled eggs and needed to be separate from all the rest.

The Rabi encountered a Roman Centurion on his walk. The Centurion invited the Rabi to a party @ the Kings Palace. The Rabi arrived at the party only to find out he was the guest of honor. When the gang of drinking buddies were invited to join them they replied in their drunkenness "We Don't know this man." As was tradition with this King when the rooster crowed three times, the guest of honor was beaten and crucified.

Y'all know this Rabi was a rebel. After three days rest in a cave he got up made his bed, had some coffee, and returned to his Drinking Buddies to begin a new religion. "I have taught you by example to live with love. Do not judge, just sow the seeds of love. Folks will know you by the way you live. Years to come you will remember this day with decorated eggs, hot cross buns, and chocolate Easter Bunnies."

OK the yarn is complete for today. Y'all can enjoy the humor used to deliver the message. No harm id intended. Only the delivery of a message of love., Mizpah.
