Description And so, once again, it is Easter.
Danbuster wanted to come up with something original to bring all his close friends together to celebrate the occassion. Well, he happened to mention it to his family-friend and local scientist/inventor/mechanic Professor Albert Einspine, who came up with the very solution.
Being Jewish, it is at this time of year when the little grey hedgehog would celebrate Passover - which by the grand plan of the divine also coincides with the events leading up to the Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection of Christ according to Christian belief. Einspine's beliefs agree with Danbuster's, because he happens to be what's known as a Messianic Jew - that is, he also believes that Jesus is the Christ.

Anyway, the arrangements were agreed on, so Danbuster, Frederick, Spencer, Einspine and Heinrich all came to mark the Easter occassion together, bringing along some of their own friends...
Danbuster pleaded with Retsubnad to coming along. To please his brother, the dark hare eventually agreed to socialise for once.
Frederick also suggested inviting the Rudderbucks (Leroy "Hydrex" & Pearl), so the otters also came along.
Spencer, of course, asked his girlfriend Jenny along.
And a good time was had by all.

Happy Easter!!

I think this is one of the few times i see a pic celebrating Passover. For a minute I thought it was gonna be a parody on The Last Supper XD.
Its great to see all of them there enjoying this meal.
Awesome job mate, and have a nice Easter.

Yes, I guess the whole Jewish thing had been developing over the years, from when I first discovered that Einstein had Jewish roots - and Einspine was sort of based on him, so it carried over.
For a few years, we did a sort of Maundy Thursday meal at our church, with the unleavened bread, lamb and suchlike - so I could say that this pic was based on true events!
Thanks very much, Luke! Glad you like it!

spiffing. lol grape juice instead of wine

also happy easter

Thanks!

Indeed, in our church (Baptist, BTW), we always have grape juice for the communion. Good stuff!
And being teetotal, I stick by that!

Oh yeah, that's true. Frederick does drop his H's sometimes - though without sounding all common like Spencer!

(Of course, there are some other characters arounds - the eagles, for instance... only they'd never fit inside Einspine's cottage/workshop)

Oh my gosh! He's a Messianic??? That what me and my Mom are!!!XD We believe in both christ and God! = ) But anyway, I love the picture! It really does look like a passover meal! Ew!!>.< Bitter herbs! They really are bitter! I've tried them!@_@ And have you ever tried horse raddish? You have to eat it fast, or it'll burn your whole mouth!@_@

DCLeadboot In reply to Emily-Young [2009-04-09 22:31:20 +0000 UTC]

Heh, cool! An actual Messianic Jew, eh? That's interesting!

Yeah, for a few years running at our church, we used to have a Maundy Thursday meal with unlevened bread, roast lamb, parsley (for herbs) and bowls of olive oil. I was working pretty much from memory here.

I never actually had horse-radish. I might have tried radish and didn't like it...
Still, like the herbs, Retsy is a bitter character himself, thanks to his cruel background (which is what led him growing up to become a wizard bent on conquering the world, just so he might be respected). I guess that's why he likes the herbs!

XD That makes sense!^^ And that sounds like a real awesome party! And I'd say you did a great job remember your passover stuff! And trust me, I've tried horse radish, the cream, and just the peaces of it, it's HOT!!! If you ever get the chance to try some you'll know what I mean!@_@

Thanks! Glad to know I had it right, anyway. I knew if anyone would know how things should really look, it would be an actual Jew. Since there's all sorts on deviantART, I wanted to be accurate for their sake!
