It memory is correct, this year, Easter will be obsserved by all Christians, just like last year. A hopeful sign for Christian unity.

And they named their boys Paisios and Ephraim! What great, spiritually strong names. It doesn't get much better than that! God Bless all of them. "When he has kept longer fasts "I have never felt more spiritually strong," he said."

That's what makes Great Lent such a life changing experience.
