James Jones column: Easter should be recognized more as national holiday Published 10:10 am Saturday, March 30, 2024 Regardless of where Easter falls on the calendar, it remains one of my favorite holidays. When I resided on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I knew when Easter would be based on Mardi Gras. Whatever Tuesday Mardi Gras fell on, I would count six weeks later on the calendar and I got Easter. Of course, I know all I have to do is look at the calendar online or print to see the date for Easter Sunday. I always had more fun this way, getting a handful of moon pies and necklaces on Fat Tuesday. Email newsletter signup My high school and college mathematics teachers would be proud to see me applying their lessons taught many years ago. While I love to crunch numbers, I saw math as a chance to improve my Grade Point Average. The way Easter is treated as a holiday still baffles me. I am not talking about the church services, where pastors do a wonderful job discus

Image
Britons have been warned of long delays on their Easter getaways with more than 14 million journeys expected on the roads, airports prepared for a record number of passengers, and engineering works on key rail services.

Travel expert Simon Calder told Sky News that Bristol, Newcastle and Edinburgh all predict a record number of passengers from Good Friday to Easter Monday, with routes to Geneva tipped to be extremely busy.

It’s not always that you get an artist who has the important ingredients for potential stardom. Talent. Charisma. Vision. Charm. When you come across someone who has these traits, you can’t help but to let the world know that you have (especially in my line of work). So, I’m busting out the bullhorn for Arianna Holiday . [embedded content] Holiday is a gifted vocalist. She has a naturally soulful and powerful voice. She also has a unique visual style, and an irreverent, self aware, sexy charm. [embedded content] Holiday is also a brain tumor survivor. It’s obvious that Holiday has a tale to tell. After talking to her for this interview, I can confirm that she does, and it’s a saga. Greg Simms Jr (Gs): Who is Arianna Holiday? Tell us all about yourself. Arianna Holiday (AH): I am a music artist, DJ, and brain tumor survivor. I use my music to tell my story, raise awareness, and inspire change. I am Sicilian American with class and a whole lot of sass! GS: How long have you

Easter 2024 in the Holy Land: a holiday marked by Palestinian Christian sorrow - The Conversation

Every year, Christians from across the world visit Jerusalem for Easter week, walking the Via Dolorosa , the path Jesus is said to have walked on the way to his crucifixion over 2,000 years ago. Easter is the holiest of days, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre , the site where Jesus is believed to have died, is one of the most sacred sites for Christians. But not all Christians have equal access to these sites. If you are a Christian Palestinian living in the city of Bethlehem or Ramallah hoping to celebrate Easter in Jerusalem, you have to request permission from Israeli authorities well before Christmas – without guarantee that it will be granted. Those were the rules even before Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel . The Israeli response to the Hamas attack has resulted in even more severe restrictions on freedom of movement for Palestinians in the West Bank. The site where the Bible says Jesus was born, in Bethlehem, and the place he died, in Jerusal
