Happy Easter Proletarian Jesus

Let me explain:

My daughter is married to a man from Ukraine/Russia (Crimea). For most of the world, Easter was a couple of weeks ago, but for Eastern Orthodox Religion in is today.

So my daughter refers to it as second Easter.

This year, it falls on May 1, which in secular tradition is International Workers Day.

So she refers to it as Easter for Proletarian Jesus
