The thing is as time moves forward the actual religious siginificance sits behind the celebration of the holiday amongst the majority of Australians. Sure people acknowledge the reason for the holiday but geez crying about when hot cross buns (loved by many) or chocolate can be sold and when they can't ? Christianity has been slowly declining for years amongst Australians, probably a bit with each generstion. 61% of Australians identify as Christian yet only a quarter of those attend a church service each week ?
