you yourself are not Christian, would you wish them a blessed Easter?
Personally, I think it's a nice gesture, recognising that you know the holiday is religious for that person. Agree? Disagree?
For the Christians here: would any of you intentionally (not) wish people a "blessed Easter"/some other formula? Or would you not break your head over it and stick to whatever the common greeting is? ("Merry Easter", I think.)
Feel free to answer this question about another faith, mutatis mutandis. |
