Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!! :-)
I attended Easter celebrations at the EDSA Shrine. The church was full, good thing the place is air-conditioned.
On my way home I passed by Greenbelt. There was an Easter Egg Hunt at Power Books. I never really experienced that when I was a child, but the kids there sure looked like they were having a great time looking for 400 eggs.
I was also able to watch part of the Vatican Easter Mass. Broadcast worldwide, there are special indulgences given to those who are able to watch it. St. Peter's Square was jampacked (about 250,000 people) with several flags of different countries waving in the wind. Of course the Philippine flag was among them! When the Pope said Happy Easter in Filipino there was a loud uproar in the crowds, the loudest among the different contingents I think, proof to the fact that we have a lot of countrymen in Italy and Europe.
