On this iconic day, America celebrates those tasty mollusks. Jesus died so we could eat them, and he came back to life as a fluffy white bunny. We have eggs with our oysters, because bunnies are hatched from eggs. Then we give our kids a ridiculous amount of candy, because last Halloween, it was fun to see them get sick after eating fourteen candy bars.
Christian mythology coupled with American customs makes for a piquant cocktail. Enjoy your spring solstice, everybody! (In a couple of months, it'll be over 100 degrees.)
