I have a new, hate-filled, misogynist post ready to go; but, I’m going to hold off out of respect for Mary Magdalene (and the other Mary).
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen…
Granted, I take it as myth and not history, but I think it’s telling that two solid sisters (women, not skank-ho wimminz) were the first to welcome the hero back to take command of the world.
Happy Holiday to all my Christian brothers. Come on back on Monday, and we’ll see what shit I can come up with.
Happy Easter, Boxer. At Good Friday service we prayed for the Church, the Pope, catachumins, unification of Christians, the Jewish people, all those who don’t believe in Christ, or believe in God. Christ died for all of us after all.
Looking forward to your post .. which is more insightful that hateful imo
