Phil Ochs – Ballad of the Carpenter
Phil Ochs reminds us of Jesus' crucifixion for being the voice of the common man on this Good Friday and how he was betrayed by the Roman government on behest of the rich man.
Those who believe the government and the courts do the people's work should look no further than what the Roman troops did under a lawful order and upon conviction of Jesus Christ the son of God for treason. This song lays out the story of Christianity and government more generally so beautifully as we remember the death of Jesus Christ on this day.
Easter π° is always the Sunday after first full moon after March 21st
Easter π° is always the Sunday after first full moon after March 21st.
The scriptures define it that way, it doesn’t matter if calendar spring is on March 19, 20, 21 or 22nd.
The earliest Easter can occur is March 22 if the full moon is March 22, which means Good Friday is on March 20th.
The latest Easter can occur is April 25th.
In 1943, the first full moon after March 21st was Tuesday April 20th which put Easter on April 25. That’s because the March full moon was on March 21st and the scripture says the full moon must be after March 21. This will happen again in 2038.

Why Isnβt Fish Considered Meat During Lent?
For six Fridays each spring, Catholics observing Lent skip sirloin in favor of fish sticks and swap Big Macs for Filet-O-Fish. Why?
Legend has it that centuries ago a medieval pope with connections to Europe's fishing business banned red meat on Fridays to give his buddies' industry a boost. But that story isn't true. Sunday school teachers have a more theological answer: Jesus fasted for 40 days and died on a Friday. Catholics honor both occasions by making a small sacrifice: avoiding animal flesh one day out of the week. That explanation is dandy for a homily, but it doesn't explain why only red meat and poultry are targeted and seafood is fine.
