A Blessed Easter/Passover

[didache]

A very blessed Easter or Passover to all those forum members who observe these events.
Many of you will know that I have been retired now for nearly two months. I was a clergyman. The local church here where we have moved to had a small problem in that their minister was away in India and their assistant minister came down with pneumonia. So, they asked me to help out, which I was glad to do. Last Sunday I did the sermon and last night (Maundy Thursday/Holy Thursday) I conducted a special service to observe this. It was the first time I have done anything since I retired and just proves the old point that clergymen never really retire!
However you spend the weekend, may all your chocolate eggs be big ones! ::

May your Easter be blessed as well! I’ve been in ministry for 16 years now, and while many of my friends have retired from pay, they have not retired from work!

I’ve attended many celebrations in different faiths for Easter- the one we saw in Cusco, Peru on Monday night celebrating the Lord of the Earthquakes was unique... The Procession

Happy Easter to all members and their families. Please enjoy the holiday and celebrate safely.

Ham or turkey on the menu folks?
My in-laws get a fancy Berkshire ham that we get to dig into.

 

[jpmcwjr]

A blessed holiday and holy day to all.
Ham is likely, though I will be Jonesing for some Down East lobster.....

Happy Zombie Day! Many clergy in my family and we joke about this most years.

Lamb is the tradition in the UK - so roast leg of lamb for us - washed down with a nice Rioja.

At this time of year, when families may or may not gather to possibly share in various unspecified sentiments of the holiday season, the Neutral family—Ben Neutral, Coco Neutral and little Charley Neutral—would like to take this moment to wish various persons viewing this message an Easter of some sort. Or not. Heres hoping your Easter is enviromentally low impact, gender neutral, non racist and sexually inclusive and differently abled. I hate this PC cr*p so light up your pipe, shave a lesbian, shoot at your favorite FDA target, have a few beers and tell the do gooders to f*ck off and get a life! Happy Easter/Passover folks and may your particular God go with you!
