Easter in Jarrda is "shegspir'relh". Literally this means "found egg day",
referring to the tradition of searching for hidden plastic Easter eggs full
of jellybeans and other yummy treats. But it also sounds like "Shakespeare
day", which inspired the Jarrda tradition of reading Shakespeare on Easter.
Of course, this tradition started before I decided to give Jarrda to the
raccoon-people (who wouldn't have ever heard of Easter eggs or
Shakespeare).
