A forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local and national issues

Question of the Week: ""What are your fondest Passover or Easter memories?"

"Coloring eggs with my mother and my brother around the kitchen table."

– Mayor Joe O'Neill


"Searching for eggs in my grandmother's house."

– Mary Coulter, Princeton University graduate student


"Spring has always been one of my favorite times of the year, partly because I love gardens and flowers, but also because of holiday observances. My favorite memory is not a single memory so much, but an amalgam because I am a child of two traditions. So, my fondest memory is a kind of interesting, mystifying, jumble of Easter eggs, icons and incenses in the Russian Orthodox Church that my father took me to; and seders, reading the hagaddah, matzoh balls in the dim light of my great grandparents' house. And, that's why I like this time of year."

– Alexandra Radbil, Moore Street


"My fondest memories of the Easter season are dyeing and hiding Easter eggs and as a parent, even up to the time my kids were in their 20's dyeing and hiding Easter eggs."

– Kathie Miller, Hawthorne Avenue


"When I was 18 years old, I finally found the afikomen (it is a matzoth that is hidden, and children hunt for it, and the child who finds is gets money as a reward) in the same spot that my father hid it every year."

– Scott Ross, Linden Lane
