A friend of mine posted this on the Facebooks today and I just had to share it.
On a final note, my Ravenclaw got me the best Easter present ever!
I'm not usually that into electronic music that isn't Jackson Jackson, but the music and the animation in this video are absolutely fantastic.
Another thing I learnt today is the name of the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I always thought it was weird that it didn't have a name, and was happy to find out that it did. For those playing at home it's called Holy Saturday or Black Saturday. Growing up I liked to call it Really Horrible Saturday, because it was the time Jesus was dead between the dying on the cross on Friday and the resurrection on Sunday. According to some, Black Saturday is the day that Jesus was down in Hell kicking the devil's butt so he could change the rules of who gets into heaven or something like that. I also like to think he was freeing the prisoners who were sent to Hell based on the old rules.

Since the Pope and Ricky Gervais got to have their own Easter messages this is mine:
