ITS NOT MIDNIGHT YET!
*ahem*
Today is Easter Sunday; a day of bunnies, eggs, chocolate, the emergence of Spring, and in the Christian faith; a day of remembrance and celebration that Jesus miraculously returned from the dead!
Miracles, regardless of their level of authenticity, seldom go unnoticed, nor do they disappear overnight. So this time your task is to create a holiday based around a miracle!
It can be a recurring miracle, or a day when a past one is remembered, or even a day when people hope/pray for a miracle
