Since I don’t pay much attention to the holidays with ‘movable’ dates, I hadn’t realized ‘Ether’ weekend was upon us until I checked the schedule calendar this week and saw this day off for all of us.
I’m a state employee (in the U. S.), and though I question the state or nation making this a legal holiday, I’ll take the day off with pay if they’re offering. I figure there are bigger ‘nits to pick’ when it comes to separation of church and state issues. But I do understand when someone opposes every issue–‘give them an inch, they’ll take a mile.’
Anyway, in my absent-mindedness I’d forgotten about this being ‘child mass murder night’ and human sacrifice day. Credit due to Whitefire13 for reminding me.
And to Tin-Man, my little knowledge of the event only tells me the reason they hadn’t burnt JC at the alter was probably because he was being executed by Roman jurisdiction.
But that sounds interesting: would that sadistic god love to indulge in his own burning flesh? But maybe he figured it would be more practical for his followers to flash crosses around rather than a replica of an altar. Crosses might be more practical for jewelry too.
