Giant Easter eggs have popped up in various locations around town. More have been laid in Wellington and Auckland. I saw these two in Latimer Square, and they are also in Cathedral Square and the Restart Mall.
Each of the 100 eggs has been designed by an artist and they’re all part of a fundraising project for Starship Children’s Hospital. It’s fun and helps to brighten up our city.
It’s just a pity that so few people realise that Easter is actually a spring festival, and we should celebrate it in spring instead of slavishly following the Northern hemisphere.
“It would be a more nat’ral thing
to celebrate Easter in spring.”
