Meaning
Easter — a major Jamaican holiday marked as much by food and kite-flying as by church. The season's signature is 'bun an cheese': spiced Easter bun eaten with slices of processed cheese. Good Friday is solemn and traditional, while Easter Monday brings beach trips and colourful kites in the breezy sky.
