Easter is a bit different here than in the UK. The Catholic church celebrate it in a very big way with parades and re-enactments of The Passion, stopping at various points along the way to perform certain rituals as part of what they believe. The Evangelicals don't seem to celebrate it at all, but if they do it is in a very quiet way and this is because the Catholics celebrate it! It seems that if it is something that the Catholics do then the Evangelicals don't do it, to set themselves apart from the Catholic church. We saw a Passion re-enactment when we were walking through a favela on Friday lunchtime.
We got sent a photo of the snow in Norfolk, UK and it made us feel very far away from home...
