When I was a girl and I learned that the Easter Bunny was fictitious, I felt relieved because the image of the tall man in the rabbit suit always scared me.

Cuando era una niña y supe que el Conejo de la Pascua era ficticio, me sentí aliviada porque la imagen de el hombre alto in el traje de conejo siempre me dio miedo.

*De Pascuas a Ramos aparece algo nuevo que te hace replantearte cosas que creías que sabías.

Every once in a blue moon, something new comes along that makes you reconsider everything you thought you knew.

I see in the dictionary that Ramos refers to Palm Sunday. Aren't the dates backwards in the idiom? - 0074b507, Apr 24, 2011
El dicho alude a la festividad de la Pascua de Resurrección, que tiene lugar una semana después del Domingo de Ramos. Por lo tanto, entre ambas festividades, existe un lapso de tiempo de un año menos una semana. - --Jen--, Apr 24, 2011
