“Eat curd & sugar before heading out”

Consumption of curd keeps the body cool during steamy Indian weather. During 18th and 19th century curd and added sugar was offered to those heading outside – during summer time – as an instant glucose source. The practice was later on linked with good luck.

                                                                Easter Sunday


On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches. Christians believe, according to Scripture, that Jesus came back to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus. In Western Christianity, Easter marks the end of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline in preparation for Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter Sunday. Eastern Orthodox churches observe Lent or Great Lent, during the 6 weeks or 40 days preceding Palm Sunday with fasting continuing during the Holy Week of Easter. Lent for Eastern Orthodox churches begins on Monday and Ash Wednesday is not observed.Because of Easter's pagan origins, and also because of the commercialization of Easter, many Christian churches choose to refer to the holiday as Resurrection Day.Easter in the Bible words. The biblical account of Jesus' death on the cross, or crucifixion, his burial and his resurrection, or raising from the dead, can be found in the following passages of Scripture: Matthew 27:27-28:8; Mark 15:16-16:19; Luke 23:26-24:35; and John 19:16-20:30. In Western Christianity, Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the Paschal Full Moon. I had previously, and somewhat erroneously stated, "Easter is always celebrated on the Sunday immediately following the first full moon after the vernal (spring) equinox." This statement was true prior to 325 AD; however, over the course of history (beginning in 325 AD with the Council of Nicea), the Western Church decided to established a more standardized system for determining the date of Easter.

The  Work shop was very useful for my project work. First I don’t know how to upload a video on the Wikipedia and how to add a photo and also to change the photo. But in the one day workshop, I  have learnt many information. I had more photos and photography with me that  was my passion. I took many theatrical photos from my U.G but  I lost many photos on that period. While I have attended the workshop  on “E-Documentation And Wikipedia” that was the key for me to save my photos. I thank to the Department of Library science and information technology and my heartiest thanks for Mr. Maa. Thamizhpparithi.   

 

Holi Festival

                                  

Holi, the festival of colors, is celebrated in the month of Phalgun (February-March).It is the full moon day in Phalgun that  in the spring season in India. It is also a celebration of the harvest season.   ‘Holi' comes from the word ‘hola' which means sacrifice. And the festival is a reminder that we must live our lives in a spirit of service and sacrifice. Holi symbol for  victory and stands for the victory of good over evil. The  festival  gets its name from the  earlier  story of Holika. Holika was the sister of  the king  Hiranyakashipu. The king, egoistic as he was, desired that everybody in his kingdom worship him alone. He found that his son, Prahlada, was a worshipper of Lord Vishnu. It was then that Hiranyakashipu decided to kill Prahlada in connivance with his sister. Holika had been granted a boon that gave her the power to remain unaffected by fire.  She put Prahlada into a fire, Holika sat him on her lap and pretended to play with him while Hiranyakashipu ordered his men to set the place where they sat on fire. It was then that Holika's boon failed her. For her sin, she kill by the Lord's devotee, Holika was burned to ashes while Prahlada came out unscathed.Another important aspect of Holi is its joy and fun. Contrary to common perception, spirituality is about enjoying life to its fullest.It is a vibrant, living knowledge that enables us to make life a celebration. So on Holi, we must remember to bring the color into our lives. It is not a festival of colours but also a festival of unity and friendship. All barriers like caste, creed, position, and language are forgotten and men and women join the fun. This festival marks brotherhood and love as neither caste nor class barriers remain among the people.
