It is a frequent complaint during the Easter season that no one really knows what Easter is about these days.
Children just think it’s about Easter eggs, chicks and bunnies. Adults think it’s about having a long weekend off work and very little else changes. This year, the late Easter is at risk of being subsumed completely in the run up to the Royal Wedding the following weekend.

The place in which many of us find ourselves shaking our heads and groaning deeply is the seasonal products aisle in our supermarkets, now packed to the brim with hollow chocolate mouldings, diverting everyone’s attention away from the real glory of Easter. Last year the UK saw 80 million chocolate eggs sold, none of them mentioning the resurrection.
