~ Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894), American Writer
Hereabouts it is a gray and damp day, when that happens it always seems to me to be somehow fitting for this day. I am always caught unaware when Passover does not coincide with Easter – because the early Church wanted Easter to always be on a Sunday, the calendars got out of whack apparently. And I am not the only one that has noticed that being buried on Friday and rising on Sunday does not “three days and three nights” make – that too has come in for a lot of debate and some pretty fancy reasoning.
Meanwhile? It is the last business day of the month!
