Not at all. Lent for us begins on March 13 and Great and Holy Pascha is on

May 1st.

The dates of Pascha (/Easter) usually are different, but occasionally are on

the same day. That way all the candy's on sale for us :-D Aside from that, I

like it on a different day because it removes us from all the hustle and

bustle of the bunnies and flowery colors.

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of them

make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense compassion,

which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to bear the sight of

the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature. Thus they pray

ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the truth, and for

those

who do them wrong. "
