One of my favorite stories -- who know if it happened exactly like this or not – concerns Russia soon after the Soviet takeover. A commissar was haranguing a group of soon to be collectivized farmers on atheism. Christianity was ridiculous, the Resurrection a myth, etc.
When he paused for breath an Orthodox priest asked if he could say a few words. Grudgingly, the commissar agreed.
Happiest Easter to you Claudia and this entire Sub stack forum.
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter. Nice flowers in the backyard.
And to you and yours.
Happy Easter to you as well, Claudia!
Back at you!
Thanks for the wished of Easter good will.

Priest: “The Lord it risen!”
People: “He is risen indeed!”
Good on 'ya!!
Igualmente! And Thanks for your clear thoughts; not easy in this political economy "preach off," but keep up the good work, Sunday is coming.
