BOMBING OF GUERNICA

It was market day in Guernica when the church bells of Santa Maria sounded the alarm that afternoon in 1937. People from the surrounding hillsides crowded the town square. " Every Monday was a fair in Guernica", says José Monasterio, eyewitness to the bombing. " They attacked when there were a lot of people there. And they knew when their bombing would kill the most. When there are more people, more people would die"....Read more...

On May 12, 1999, The New York Times reported that the German Parliament formally apologized to the citizens of Guernica for the role the Condor legion played in bombing the town. By contrast, no formal apology to the city has ever been offered by the Spanish government for whatever role it may have played in the bombing.

EASTER

Easter, also called Resurrection Day, is a holiday. Among Christians, it is a celebration of Jesus Christ returning from the dead. Christians believe that it is the holiest day in the year. Some people who are not Christians celebrate it as the beginning of Spring.

Today, people celebrate Easter in a number of different ways: they give each other or hide to have children find, colourful Easter egg s; they also give each others candy. Sometimes they even give each other baby ducks, chickens, or bunnies as presents, though this is not done as much as it used to be. These ways of celebrating have nothing to do with Christianity. They come from the spring celebrations from old European nature religions. Christians, and even some people who are not Christians, dress very nicely and go to church on Easter Sunday. Large dinners are usually held on Easter afternoon as well.
