I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all Happy Easter for the weekend just passed, and "Christ has arisen!" for those back home, who have just celebrated Easter this Sunday. In Cyprus, Christian Orthodox, celebrate Easter on the 28th of April (in case you were wondering about my comment). I spent my …
