Willow we were taught that Friday was the day of the Crucifixion and not day one. Saturday was day one, Easter Sunday we were given an hard boiled egg and a small chocolate egg in a little paper basket to take home and were always told NOT to eat it until Easter Monday. Day 3.

I'm sure that at one time they did close, and the only thing open was the fish market...and that was only open until dinner time. But times change and everyone seems to worship at the shrine of commercialism now.
