Easter in a Muslim Country

Sunday was Easter in Jordan and it rained and the wind blew all day.  It was so cold.  We went back to sleeping under four blankets again.  Brrrr.  

Even though it's a Muslim country, Easter is a good excuse for a weekend off, so everybody observes it.  The schools, government offices and banks are closed.    The holiday starts on Thursday afternoon and goes through until the following Tuesday.   You gotta love the Christians.
