Fair comment Scrump, there are far more non religious things happening at Easter than religious ones.

I would however, be interested in the wider perspective on how 'Englishness' could be celebrated, for I fear many of us are to 'embarrassed' for whatever reason, to do so.

As for dates and saints, I don't see how we can move from St George and the nearest weekend to that day, for whether we like it or not, that is the tradition we have inheritted.
