MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - While Christians have often complained of bias in the selection of which days Google honors with its "Google Doodles," believers around the country were reportedly ecstatic to find that the search and advertising giant chose to honor the empty tomb of Jesus on Easter morning with an empty homepage.
While many significant holidays like International Women's Day, Labor Day, and "Celebrating Pad Thai" are honored with a specially designed Google logo for the day, the celebration of Jesus's resurrection was given the highest honor, with a completely unaltered Google homepage.
"Just as Christ left a completely empty tomb, so we decided to leave our Google Doodle empty and blank in honor of this significant historical event," Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a special Easter address Sunday. "We didn't want to do something cheesy or corny, but a mostly white search engine page seemed to communicate the proper level of reverence."

Gotcha Google!
Godless Google.
I haven’t used Google much for years; but do they ever honor Jewish or Christian religious holidays with actual religious symbology?
(All I recall seeing on Easter in the past were Easter eggs.)
Wow. They got me, too!
The Bee is brilliant--I found the headline credible. In fact, I bought it completely. I appreciated Google's deepening of spirit, and was quite moved.
And then, as I read on, and saw it was the Bee, I collapsed in grateful laughter.
The Bee is a philosophical entity of great depth and explosive truth.
Hoist with their own petard.
Google is going with “If you can’t say anything good about someone...”
Let’s see if some recently deceased person’s casket is empty in three days.
