One thing that I definitely wanted to comment on is celebrating Easter in Fiji. If you're Christian and pan on spending a major religious holiday there, make sure that you're on a bigger island that has a church on the days that you're planning to attend service. While this might seem obvious, some of the islands that you would think would likely be able to acomodate you're religious needs don't have churches. South Sea Island, which was popular on Easter, had no services.
I did witness something spectacular during Holy Week, however. Starting in the north and heading to the southern islands, some devoted Christian Fijians swim with a cross from island to island. Part of the way is made by boat, but the cross is taken from the boat when the water is shallow enough, and swam to shore where people on the islands hold small ceremonies and worship it. Quite beautiful.
