Ad Orientem: Happy Easter

Sunday, March 31, 2013

A blessed feast to those celebrating Easter on the Roman Catholic calendar.

BJ Buracker said...: And may your 40 days be blessed, as well!; 3/31/2013 9:04 AM
Matthew M said...: Have a nice long wait to celebrate. You Orthodox sure don't know anything about historical, biblical accuracy. The Eastern fear of so-called 'Judaizers' is laughable. The Western Churches may not get it correct all the time but they are a lot closer than the Eastern Churches.
Too funny.; 3/31/2013 4:43 PM
Teena Blackburn said...: Wow, Matthew, that's a really impolite way to answer someone who has wished you a blessed Feast. Our Easter falls on the same day next year, and is a week apart the year after that. What nasty, rude remark will you make then?; 3/31/2013 4:51 PM
mjl said...: Thank you, John! And I hope your Great Lent goes quickly for your celebration.; 4/01/2013 12:25 AM
Archimandrite Gregory said...: Matthew,

A little knowledge is a very dangerous thing. You obviously don't know that many Eastern Rite Catholics follow the same paschalion, as did the Roman Church until the advent of the Gregorian Calendar. Wise counsel: engage brain before you write! And a happy Easter to you!; 4/01/2013 7:37 AM
