Georgetown, Guyana, Easter 2009. Kite flying at Easter is a unique Guyanese tradition. Fly a kite at any other time and you'll be thought of as rather odd. The origins of the practice are somewhat hazy but the general explanation is that the kite is symbolic of the risen Lord.
This year my family members were out of town, so I stayed at home. Todd and I kept up a childhood tradition of colouring Easter eggs.

Today is russian orthodox easter. The eggs were given to me by Bencopt. They are made by his mother.
The Church begins the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord with the solemn Easter Vigil, usually celebrated late at night on Holy Saturday. The Vigil consists of the Liturgy of Light, the reading of the Prophecies, the Baptismal Liturgy and the celebration of Holy Mass.
As the people gather outside of the church, a fire is lit. The celebrant then blesses the fire and lights the Paschal Candle- the symbol of Christ, the Light of the world, and inscribes upon it the actual date, saying: 'Christ, yesterday and today, the beginning and the ending. To Christ belongs all time and all the ages; to Christ belongs glory and dominion now and forever. Amen'. Then the Candle is carried into the church, filling it with light, and the people proceed inside holding tapers lit from the holy fire. Then the deacon chants the 'Exsultet'- an ancient hymn of praise honoring the marvelous happenings of the Easter Night. Seven scriptural Prophecies are then read- biblical passages which had prophecied the comming of the Lord. The Alleluia is sung for the first time since the beginning of Lent. After the Gospel and sermon, the Baptismal Liturgy begins, in which the people present in church are reminded of the time when they themselves received this holy Sacrament, and renew their baptismal promises. After the blessing of new baptismal water, Baptism is administered to the Catechumens and Candidates are received into the Church. Then follows the celebration of Holy Mass.
At St. John Cantius, this year's Easter Vigil was celebrated by the Rev. Bishop Joseph Perry. The Bishop administered the sacraments of Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation to this year's Catechumens.

Castaldi Family Easter Bread (now with a less confusing recipe!).
This is an easter bread my family has made for many years, it is sweet and cakey and had the iconic dyed eggs nestled in it that make it look so festive on the table.
Time: 4-5 hours
Ingredients:
- 2 packages of rapid rise yeast
- 5.5-5.75 cups of flour
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 cooked and dyed eggs
- salt
- one lemon, zest grated + juice
- 3 eggs (raw)
- candy sprinkles
* Soak yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Whisk together 1 cup of flour and 1/2 cup warm water, and add this to the yeast. Cover and let sit in a warm oven for 60 minutes or until nice and bubbly.
* Cream until soft: shortening, butter, lemon zest, 2 tbsp lemon juice. Then add sugar and 1 tsp salt. Add 2 eggs + 1 egg white (save the yolk for later). Mix well, it will be slimy and not very smooth. Add the yeast/flour mixture and then gradually add the remaining 4.5-4.75 cups of flour. Mix with spoon or by hand until smooth.
* Let rise in a greased bowl in the oven until double in size. Then punch down to let out the air, divide dough into two balls, and let rest for 10 minutes.
* Form the two dough balls into two long rolls, then twist them. Put the dough twists into a spring form pan in a spiral or ring shape. Nest the 3 hard boiled eggs into the gaps of the dough, so it will rise around them. Let the dough rise in the pan for another 1-2 hours.
* Bake for 10 minutes at 325F. Then brush the top with a mix of 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp milk. Sprinkle on the candy sprinkles and then continue to bake for another 40-45 minutes.
* Remove from pan when warm but not hot. It will be gently brown and golden on top. Amazing fresh, great the next day, divine when toasted.

He seemed to really like the Easter outfit my mom made him. This was a happy dance of no small exuberance.

The family asked me to make cupcakes for Easter lunch, so I chose to make carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (I chose carrot because when you think of Easter, you think of rabbits, and rabbits eat carrots).
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ, celebrated on the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, marks the beginning of the Paschal Season. On this most sacred night the Church announces with great vigor that "this is the night, when Christ broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld."
In the Exsultet, chanted by the Deacon, the Church solemnly proclaims that the fault of Adam has now been transformed into a happy fault which has "earned so great, so glorious a Savior." The Church's faithful seal this news of great joy with a solemn amen.
At St. John Cantius, the sense of paschal joy was only increased by the presence of the catechumens and candidates who were fully received into the Catholic Church. They and all those who were received into the Church at the Easter Vigil thus received the fruits of the Redemption by receiving the Sacraments of initiation instituted by our Risen Lord.
May we renew our commitment to live the Gospel in our lives and proclaim to the world the glorious news of the Resurrection, for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed!
