Favorite activity during Easter; Being of mixed cultures Aslan does not celebrate Easter, instead during that time he is usually commemorating Novruz, also known as the Persian New year.
When winter turns to spring, and the years starts anew, Aslan has his own holiday activites, ones that he's learned from a childhood of watching his family, and his whole neighborhood, during Novruz at home. He does paint eggs during that time, but he learned the aspect from own country and so he never considered it very "Easter like" to the amusement of others.
He is not Christian, and never got into the Easter traditions in his 12 years of living in Canada, but around Easter time he is doing his own celebrating. During Novruz bayram he does what he considers his favorite act and calls the people of his family and of his town. He saves this for Easter day, to feel as if even it has a meaning in his festivities.
If he was back home he would be with his family, visiting distant relatives and family friends, because he can't be- he spends all easter day trying to get the time zones right and calling everyone- His home fills up with the voices of his family, as he tries to catch them when they're not out, asking them how everyone, and telling them how he loves them, and when the ticket sales will be good enough to visit. To him it is one of the most lively and endearing activities of his year.
