Easter around the world
EASTER is a time of celebration but the festivities look a little different around the world, as these photographs show...
Petra Nakoinz, dressed in a regional Sorbic dress, presents a traditional Easter egg in the eastern German village of Schleife. A goose feather is used to decorate the eggs with wax, which are then dipped into coloured dye several times in this traditional painting method by members of the Slavic ethnic minority community of Sorbs. Each colour that is applied takes one hour.
Flagellants whip their backs while praying in front of a Jesus Christ portrait during Maundy Thursday Lenten rites in Angeles city, Pampanga province, north of Manila. The Roman Catholic church frowns on the gory spectacle held in the Philippine village every Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday but that does nothing to deter the faithful from emulating the suffering of Christ and taking a painful route to penitence.
