Patients at a British hospital got their much desired hot cross buns on Monday rather than Easter Sunday after many of them complained to a local newspaper about not receiving them. The hospital authorities decided to do away with the bun distribution on Good Friday to avoid offending non-Christian patients.

Girl Scouts from three Saxonburg-area troops have reportedly helped a Cahill family to hang nearly 5,000 real painted eggs on a tree outside her home on Easter. Margaret Cahill, who hails from Saxonburg, has decorated their yard using real eggs for 50 years. According to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, whenever she uses an egg for eating she carefully pokes a 1/4" hole in the shell, extracts the interior and saves the shell.

A 17-year-old silver crested cockatoo has reportedly adopted few eggs, which her owner Geoff Grewcock bought them as Easter gifts for friends and family. Pippa is not allowing anyone to touch her eggs, which she has started trying to hatch and when anyone attempts to come near to her eggs, she starts squawking and flapping her wings in violence.

Apparently, it won't be a Good Friday for some in the town of Newcastle in England. A pastor has banned children under 12 years of age from his Good Friday service because he will instead be showing clips from Mel Gibson's controversial movie The Passion of The Christ. What's more, the pastor also slammed the modern Easter holiday for being "sentimentalized with eggs and fluffy chickens". The pastor, Mark Elder, 45, of Heaton Baptist Church says: "The Easter story is not pretty and I want to get across the true un-cut version. It's effectively an X-certificate service," according to Ananova.

Britain's Prince Charles has revealed his favorite gardening outfit is a pair of black wellies and an old embroidered coat resembling a dressing gown. Charles posed in his comfortable get-up ahead of an interview with BBC Radio 4's 'Gardeners' Question Time', marking the show's 60th anniversary. The prince often dons his camel-colored wool coat - believed to have been a gift from Pakistan - for time pottering in the garden.
