For some reason, with Easter this year, I began to notice some really quite odd happenings that take place in connection with the event. So, being Wicked and all, I thought I'd run a little series on the peculiarities I came across.

But what is the purpose of taking a picture of people you can't even recognise? "That's aunt Mildred, second from left, under the sheet; and that's little Bobby on the right, under the sheet, isn't he cute and he's grown so much over the past year! And that's..." I mean, really, what's the point?
