Where I currently live, in Romania, the vast majority of people are Christian Orthodox and they celebrate Easter today along with all the other Orthodox people around the world.
There's a ton of traditions that revolve around the church and cooking insane amounts of food that I simply don't resonate with anymore.
Like for example the one where you must kill an innocent lamb and cook it. Ever since I was a child I felt there was something wrong with this tradition. I refused to eat lamb (although I ate other meats that my mother was giving me) and even before I became a vegetarian more than 7 or 8 years ago I've never understood why people do this in the name of religious tradition (although my family was/(still is) cooking lamb every year).
I still hope people will stop killing animals to use them as food since there is no more the need for doing that.
Anyways, rant over Easter traditions vs. vegetarians aside, and regardless of the fact that you're celebrating Easter or not, today was a gorgeous day in my side of the world.
So I took some more pictures of the blossoming trees from the nearby park. There's so much beauty in nature at this time of the year that if feels amazing to simply walk in a park and be there.
Along the usual white and pink trees today I discovered a full blown magnolia tree. Simply breath taking!
