"To the Christian in Pagan Japan:"

For Easter,

I did nothing.

Well...

when I say, "nothing"

what I mean is

nothing

other than celebrate Christ.

From what I observed that day,

Easter is just another holy day

to the tiny population of Christians,

here in Japan.

In Church,

our lessons weren't particular to the holiday;

we decorated no eggs,

nor did we eat chocolate rabbits.

Honestly,

I might have entirely forgotten it was Easter

if Celestia hadn't mentioned it to me.

Something I'm not too proud of.

So,

a note to the Christian

who endeavors to live in a polytheistic community

like Japan:

keep a calendar next to your bed

so you won't forget to celebrate

the One in whom you believe.

Or

{something we can strive for together, you and me}

celebrate Him

every day.
