Here’s 5 interesting things you can talk about this week with your family, friends and co-workers!
1: Did you know that the Presbyterian Kirk Church in St. George, built in 1790, is one of the oldest surviving churches in Charlotte County? It’s also the oldest Presbyterian Church still in active use in all of Canada!
2: The idea of a mythical “Easter Bunny” or hare has existed since the 1500’s.
3: Your tonsils contain white blood cells (B and T cells) that trap and destroy bacteria and viruses.
4: The month of April is named after the Latin aperire (“to open”), signaling the blooming of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
5: Did you know that a movie about the Titanic disaster was released just 31 days after the ship sank? “Saved from the Titanic” was filmed in just 1 week and starred actress Dorothy Gibson, who had survived the actual sinking! She even wore the actual clothes in the film that she had been wearing that night.
