[edit] Easter In Goa
All churchs in goa offer grand mass on easter sunday. People exchange easter eggs which makes Easter family affair. The Christian festival of Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The spring festival has its roots in the Jewish Passover, which commemorates Israel's deliverance from the bondage of Egypt, and in the Christian reinterpretation of its meaning after the crucifixion of Jesus during the Passover of AD c.30 and the proclamation of his resurrection three days later.
easter_egg Early Christians observed Easter on the same day as Passover (14-15 Nisan, a date governed by a lunar calendar). In the 2d century, the Christian celebration was transferred to the Sunday following the 14-15 Nisan, if that day fell on a weekday. Originally, the Christian Easter was a unitive celebration, but in the 4th century Good Friday became a separate commemoration of the death of Christ, and Easter was thereafter devoted exclusively to the resurrection. According to the Venerable Bede, the name Easter is derived from the pagan spring festival of the Anglo- Saxon goddess Eostre, and many folk customs associated with Easter (for example, Easter eggs) are of pagan origin.
Easter Day is currently determined as the first Sunday after the full moon on or after March 21. The Eastern Orthodox churches, however, follow the Julian rather than the Gregorian calendar, so their celebration usually falls several weeks later than the Western Easter. Easter is preceded by the period of preparation called Lent.

[edit] Kai Christophe Wong
Biography
Kai Wong, also credited as Kai Christophe Wong is a Hollywood Actor and Producer. Wong is of paternal Chinese descent but has possible but understated European ancestry due to trading and colonial relationships between Imperial China, South-east Asia and Italy, France, England, Portugal, and to a lesser extent, Germany.
He was discovered in Manhattan by legendary American talent manager, Jadin Wong, wife of the late Edward Dowling, heir of the Theatre chains in New York City. She signed him up immediately following an audition as Marius from the Victor Hugo adapted musical, "Les Miserables", otherwise known as "Les Miz" in Broadway. As her protégé, his career was launched. He is most known for his role as a Vietcong, singing about the misery of war in Mimi Rogers' "War & Pieces" in New York, 2003. This piece became an important piece for the Village Voice because it was the first anti-war piece performed just before the onset of the Iraq War. It was performed in the bohemian part of New York City, in East Village at St. Mark's danspace, at the site of American dramatist's Richard Foreman's Ontological-Hysteric Theater. It received rave reviews the week after. Subsequently, Kai Wong appeared in cameos in Spike Lee's "She Hate Me" as well as in pilots and television series. He was also instrumental in the production of several late works under the late Oscar-winning Hollywood Producer Ismail Merchant by the Oscar-winning team Merchant-Ivory Productions in Le Divorce, starring Kate Hudson, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close and The White Countess starring Ralph Fiennes.
Background
His grandfather is a veteran of the Northern Expedition led by Sun Yat-sen. This expedition was a Resistance campaign which fought off foreign colonization and invaders from Canton to Peking. Its ideal was to establish democracy in a China governed by the people, free from intervention from marauding tribes, such as the Mongol and Manchu dynasties of Yuan, Ching. Most importantly, it was to protect China from foreign colonization and potential civilian victimization such as the Chinese Holocaust - known as the Nanjing massacre.
He is speculated to be one of the direct descendants of Huangdi, the mythical Yellow Emperor who founded China and reigned from 2698 BC to 2598 BC. In addition, he is widely believed to continue the lineage of Qinshihuang, the Chinese Emperor who built the Great Wall. Whether by accident or genealogical generation name poems typical of Asian name conventions, many has remarked upon the fact that his personal name, in Han Chinese logograph, is a first repetition of the Emperor's personal name within the clan after more than four thousand years.
Education
Kai Wong is a dropout of Stanford University. He then graduated from Dartmouth College in the class years as Natalie Portman and Meryl Streep's son. Natalie Portman was one of the audience members at a graduating Shakespearean performance.
He trained and performed at the National Conservatory in Paris. CNSAD is a monumental institution in Europe famous for its Dramatic Art, graduating the who's who in European cinema such as Jean-Paul Belmondo, Juliette Binoche, Vincent Perez and Isabelle Huppert. He also attended the Sorbonne studying Latin, French, Russian Literature and Linguistics.
Trivia
He speaks fluent French and retroactively learned fluent Mandarin, Cantonese despite being raised as an English speaker. His photographs are often confused with those of Yoko Ono's son, Julian Lennon, in New York because both sported long hair, had porcelain Asian complexion and were sporting the geek chic black-rimmed bespectacled look around Chelsea circa 2003.

[edit] Horsforth Fairweather Football Club

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
During the 1980s the team started playing in more organised leagues, starting in the Leeds SUnday League before moving to the Combination League. In 1999 the team joined the Wharfdale Triangle league where they continue to reside, playing teams from North-West Leeds, and over towards North-East Bradford. Home games are played at the Bedquilts ground off Adel Lane, home to Leeds Met University on Sunday mornings. Train takes place at Horsforth School, Tuesday nights at 8pm. The team is manager by Martin Woods, a mad Leeds Rhino's fan and holder of the record of being the only player to score a hat-trick of penalties in one game. Unfortunately he is now resigned to managing and regularly throwing his toys out of the pram when things go wrong! Steve Burns is the long-suffering secretary of the club and also kit manager. Simon Parker is their overall leading goalscorer having bagged over 200 goals for the club at nearly a goal every other game, although perhaps their greatest player was one Richard Yarnold who played only for a season and a half before being cruelly cut down in his prime due to a serious knee injury. Yarny as he was known to the rest of the team was an integral part of the 2004/5 campaign, weighing in with a number of important and spectacular goals, the most notable being an audations 45 yard drive into the far top corner that won him goal of the season. Still loved by all at the club, Richie is fondly remembered as the most skillful forward Fairweather have ever had the fortune to have. Simon Parker undoubtedly scores in volume but Yarney delivered the quality. [edit] Sourceswww.hffc.co.uk 194.221.133.211 13:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
