Well for most of you this is Good Friday. For us (eastern orthodox) it is the Annunciation. I am headed off to liturgy shortly.

I thought this was very interesting to share.

March 25th is of course immediately after the spring equinox, and the time when there begins to be more light than darkness. It is also said to be the first month of the year according to Jewish reckoning. There is a tradition that God created the world in the month of March, and that Adam and Eve fell on March 25th. Thus, on this same date, the new Eve through her perfect obedience and union with the will of God undid what the first Eve did through disobedience. There is also a tradition that it was in this month that the Jews left Egypt and crossed the Red Sea dry-shod, and that Christ raised the dead on March 25. Finally, there is a tradition that the General Resurrection and Last Judgment will take place on March 25th. All of this, I get from the Greek Synaxarion, so if this momentous significance of March 25th was common knowledge amongst the Greeks, it is no wonder that this date was chosen (whether by the leaders, or by God, in creating the circumstances) for the liberation of the Greeks from the Turkish Yoke.

MarMema, Greer choose every single date with much thought of the symbolism, it would represent. It's definately not an accident Greer and Felos choose March 18, 2005 as the first day of this Court Ordered Murder. They knew it would run into Good Friday. I fear they may overdose Terri on morhpine at the exact time *they have choosen* for her to die.

Terri is not being ALLOWED TO DIE - TERRI IS BEING FORCED TO DIE ON THOSE GHOULS TIME TABLE.

Does anyone know if Passover started last week? I think it's the week before Easter, but I'm not sure. This whole thing is setup to Murder an innocent woman during the religious holidays of Christians and possible Jews too.

I feel so horrible for the Schindlers and for America.
