Jewish easter?

In many languages the word for Easter is the same as for what the English call "Passover", simply because it is derived from Hebrew in both cases (i.e., Christian celebration derived from the Jewish one which Christ celebrated). Why the English have retained an old pagan denomination (Easter) is unknown.

Aha...I was just wondering why the Swedes call it påsk the other day. Makes sense.

I have forayed into flag making.

Pacific Rim Alliance Treaty Organization flag

After the brutal Sino-Soviet War of 1969 and the
concurrent American victory in Vietnam, SEATO
fell apart and was replaced with a much more
effective organization.

The fiery ring represents the Ring of Fire that lies
on the edge of the Pacific Rim and the alliance's
armed might.

Members circa 1989 - United States, Canada,
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, South
Vietnam, Australia, and New Zealand.

The Pacific Rim is tainted. Now we're all really fucked.

Jesus, Tim.

[BVN]

That's one horrible looking flag...

Jesus, Tim.

What he said!

Bah, you guys got no taste. It was praised elsewhere.

If I were working on temp. contract in Korea, I would spend most of my freetime exploring the god damned country. Not drawing simplistic fantasy flags, dude

What's wrong with it?

I've done quite a bit of exploring.

Aren't most flags simplistic? I was afraid the ring might be criticized as being to fancy to be on a real flag.

It looks like the One Ring on a flag.  Anyway, were the continental plates all mapped out in in 1968?

Well I dont want to be insulting, because I like you, but as someone who likes you and will probably never meet you I have the advantage of being able to be be truly honest: your "flag" looks like a slightly modified pic out of LOTR copy-pasted on a bright blue MS Pain background

I really don't think it looks like the one ring.

As for the blue I picked it to represent the Pacific and contrast with the dark blue Atlantic of NATO

Yes, it does look like the one ring.

And for a flag from 1968, the design is far too luminescent and photographic. It needs to be much more stylised.
