A Common Myth About Easter The Christian holiday of Easter is commonly assumed to have a connection to a pagan spring festival, but that may be a myth. The truth lies in the etymology of “spring.”

The Venerable #Bede was a man of the cloth and a respected scholar, but was he a trustworthy source?

Trump threatens Iran with "hell" if Hormuz strait isn't open in 48 hours Iran has accused the U.S. of planning to commit war crimes.

After five CT cities fly Christian flag, man wants Satanology to have equal time A self-proclaimed "Satanologist" has threatened five Connecticut cities with legal action if they don't fly the flag of Satanology.

Went searching for the story of Hartford CT flying a Christian flag for #Easter weekend, but found multiple instances of unlawful religious displays (all #Christian) endorsed by local governments. This man is not alone in threatening lawsuits. #stolen from #Oestre www.ctinsider.com/connecticut/...

Somebody had plans for brunch yesterday - I went to run the hot water, late morning, and it came right up! (I have a top floor co-op and it can take four minutes of running the hot water before it makes it up.)
