This snippet: Darrin wants to spend more time with Sofia.
*****
Darrin turned his attention to Sofia, studying her thoughtfully. "What
are you doing tomorrow?"
"Palm Sunday is this weekend and I'm going to help my mother prepare our Easter basket for the Easter meal."
"Easter basket?"
"Don't you make an Easter basket?"
"It's not a custom where I come from."
"We put our food and flowers in the basket and the priest blesses it on Holy Saturday. Then we use the goods in the Easter basket to make our Easter meal."

Very timely little snippet! Enjoyed the peek at Sofia's culture...but I honestly can't buy that an American wouldn't have at least some awareness of Easter baskets. Of course his version wouldn't come close to the meaning of hers.
ReplyDeleteRevealing snippet into the Polish culture. He has a lot to learn.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed the snippet. Veronica, I didn't think of that. He probably does have a vague knowledge, but he didn't grow up with them.
