That's what I was asking about really.

Ah. I guess I was getting a little ahead of myself there. Pardon.

Why not? I bet I've spent more intimate time with xian parents than you have. At 12, I moved from my home (xian parents) to go to school. Over the years, I lived with 5 other families (all xian) in several different cities. It's not just about talking to some one in church or being their friend. You learn a lot more when you live with people.

You might consider me a biased source, but I'm certainly not an ignorant one.

I stand corrected. I called your bluff - you substantiated. I'll be in the corner eating humble pie if anybody needs me.

I consider myself quite fluent in it.

Kudos. What does that sentence mean?

I admit with the slightest of non-Zulu accents. Its a translation of your above sentence in Afrikaans, I just couldn't think of the Zulu word for monster off hand, so the first one was "fairytale-like" which I changed to "wolf".

And that monster was the easter bunny?

If someone could answer this for me.

Hows does the easter bunny and his/her eggs relate to christs resurrection? Is the hiding of the eggs in some way symbolic to the burying of christ? I understand the hot cross buns, but the bunny confuses me.

I suppose I could google this but interested what the christians feel.

Easter has become known as Resurrection Sunday. The children in the Ministry in which I fellowship, know the differrece.
