It's Good Friday but in a typically Estonian way it is munadepüha or the Egg Holiday.
Typical? Well the Estonians are such a Godless bunch that they have a day off on Good Friday but go back to work on Monday. That's actually quite pragmatic really - Christ was crucified, he died ...... and that's it!
Except that the egg part of the whole thing is supposed to symbolise the rolling of the stone from the mouth of the tomb isn't it? So how can the rolling away of the stone be celebrated in a country which denies the resurrection?
Answers on a postcard please.
