Tiocfaidh Ár Lá

I was taking a Religious Education class and we were discussing what happened at Easter. I asked the class what word described Jesus coming back to life; I wanted them to use "resurrection". There was total silence along with much scratching of heads, looking to the ceiling and face contortions, all to impress me that brains were in gear.

"It starts with R," I said, helpfully.

One hand shot up immediately and a boy answered, "The Easter Rising!"

(You need to know something about Irish history to get that one)

Well, at least maternity leave would explain your absence from blogville!
