Thank you for the Easter greetings, Italy!

Thank you for a card!
Emilia recommended not to eat all the chocolate in a day. This is a good advice!
Are you eating mostly chocolate eggs? We are more common in chicken eggs. We color them with onion shells and other like pencils, watercolors, gouache paints, markers.
In Easter morning people strike chicken eggs that they did colore on the previous few days. Before striking they think the secret idea, and whose egg remaine intact, it was the desire to realize. Each family had not at old time the meat, so cottage cheese-based foods could sometimes be more important.

Mother Tongue Day

Kristjan Jaak Peterson (March 14 1801, Riga - August 4 1822, Riga) was an Estonian poet, commonly regarded as a herald of Estonian national literature and the founder of modern Estonian poetry. His literary career was cut short by the tuberculosis that killed him at the age of 21. His birthday on March 14 is celebrated in Estonia as the Mother Tongue Day.
Cannot the tongue of this land
In the wind of incantation
Rising up to the heavens
Seek for eternity?

(Kristjan Jaak Peterson)
Those lines have been interpreted as a claim to reestablish the birthright of the Estonian language. After the University of Tartu was reopened in 1802, but with lectures given in German only, Kristjan Jaak Peterson became the first university student to acknowledge his Estonian origin, contributing to the Estonian National Awakening.
We celebrated the Mother Tongue Day at March 18.
The students gathered in the hall, where their favorite books presented and read excerpts from these teachers of other substances, and not the mother tongue teachers.
