Easter Sunday- Sacred Heart Cathedral

Resurrection of Christ- Salvation and Redemption

Amazingly, there is an unofficial {Station XV} depicting the risen Christ- the day Jesus rose from the dead- at the Sacred Heart Cathedral. The reason I said it was unofficial as this is the statue that has not a plaque stating explicitly that it is the Station of the risen Christ.  And as well in the traditional description of Stations of the Cross , there is no actual mention of the station of Resurrection of Christ.

Way of Sorrows

For the Roman Catholics, here’s a place you could visit over the Easter holiday. Make it a spiritual pilgrimage if you must.

For those of you who are not quite yet there and pious, treat this as an educational field trip to enrich yourself with knowledge about other religious faiths and about the world around you. Knowledge & understanding are what make the world go round. Strange? I seem to have heard that saying somewhere before. But where?

Pardon the borrowed phrase.
