Fast from Good Friday until Easter day. Go to a sunrise church service (Outside weather permitting), followed by a fellowship brunch. Then home to get dinner going for extended family and friends. Then eat again. After a fast, the food really does give a feeling of rejuvenation and the service, friends and family a resurrection of spirit. References :
Most people~ no idea. I go for a walk – a long one – between 3 days and a week (60-120 miles). As Chaucer said:
"Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his half cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages),
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages"
(Canterbury Tales)
