Not sure if they forgot or not. Yahoo normally changes things up and I didn't see anything yesterday there either.
Good point -- we get a change for all the various saints days in the UK, but nothing for Easter. Political correctness gone mad again?
Actually, Easter is pretty much a Wiccan holiday... not Christian. "Day and night are equal as Spring begins to enliven the environment with new growth and more newborn animals. Many people feel "reborn" after the long nights and coldness of winter. The Germanic Goddess Ostara or Eostre (Goddess of the Dawn), after whom Easter is named, is the tutelary deity of this holiday. It is she, as herald of the sun, who announces the triumphal return of life to the earth. Witches in the Greek tradition celebrate the return from Hades of Demeter's daughter Persephone; Witches in the Celtic tradition see in the blossoms the passing of Olwen, in whose footprints flowers bloom. The enigmatic egg, laid by the regenerating snake or the heavenly bird, is a powerful symbol of the emergence of life out of apparent death or absence of life."
Ashame on them... Note to Google, next holiday I wanna see that bunny catching eggs on the homepage =). Could become a best seller game.
Do it right or don't do it at all. Since Google service are addressing the whole world, I see no point in ignoring religious holiday logos and stuff. Minor attention counts, too. Shouldn't really matter what the religion, if it's a holiday, a logo would be nice Otherwise this would look like a selective celebration policy from Google which then loses its charm.
Yes, they didn't forget about that, because they're now too busy to do any celebration.
