You know February has a funny way of creeping up on you. Every year it is the same, you finish the Christmas orgy, your brain slow gets use to the idea that it is back to work again, you stay in for a couple of weekends becuse you are skint and then BAM! Its February! And you still haven't got round to any of you New Year's resolution. Forgive me if you were born during the month of February but nothing ever happens in February. No elections, no royal weddings, no terrorist attacks or alerts, nothing. Nada. It is a month that is always in a hurry to get it over and done with. Most people get a cold in February (trust me, they do).
"February was named after the Latin term februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual Februa held on February 15 in the old Roman calendar. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans originally considered winter a monthless period"

Frankly I wished it remained that way. Bears have the right idea, If I could I would hibernate until the clocks go back. But then I would miss Easter. Shame, another one of those religious holiday that most people in this have fogotten what it is all about. Then again, is it a pagan celebration?
Now, question? If Christ can quite easily be born on the same day every year why is it that he can not resurrect on the same day every year? If only for the Easter egg industry

I love that, but you did forget that St Valentines day is also in February.
I have said for years, how come he was crucified and then ressurected on a different date every year, sometimes in a whole different month?? Seems they can all remember when he was born, but not when he died and was reborn? And wasn't he actually born in August according to the way the stars were aligned at the time?
