Hi Folks,

We're a tad ahead of the world in NZ - it's just past noon on Good Friday, here. We're also "downside-up" as to seasons - it's a beautiful autumn (fall) day here, not spring, as it should be, to celebrate a "seasonal" Easter (be it pagan or Christian). I guess I'd use Solitary Druid as a "religious handle" for myself. Like most others in my community I only attend Church for "Matches and Dispatches" (don't bother with "Hatches"..;). However, I have been known to add my voice to the choir for Xmas services.

Like Alan C, my "Holy Place" is the bush, sea and sky of the environment round me. Let's expand that to the Universe.

My "Holy People" - I have no family, so damned near everyone I've ever met, but particularly the older "locals".

My "Holy Grail" - "If I can help somebody..." - To which end I am a member of our Lions Club

My "Holy Cow" - the "Holy Wars" which still plague this sad world of ours.

My "Holy Times" - I celebrate our southern seasons (by myself) but, the only "Holy Day" I celebrate in public is ANZAC (Vets) Day, which this year is tacked onto the end of Easter. Despite being a pacifist for 35 years, I'm a member of the RSA (Vet's Assn).

Must off on another bus tour...

Will continue tonight - there's some NZ Easter/Anzac Day anomolies that I think would fit this thread....

May YOUR God go with you, one and all
