Santo Domingo.– Thousands of Christian pilgrims crowded the Catholic churches in the Dominican Republic to mark the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as recounted in the New Testament.
In Jerusalem, Christians prayed at an ancient church and sang in a garden outside the walls of Jerusalem's Old City as they marked Easter Sunday.
Orthodox Christians, who observe a different calendar, marked Palm Sunday, and thousands of Jewish worshippers celebrating the Passover festival thronged a plaza opposite the Western Wall for a traditional blessing.
Roman Catholics held mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, traditionally believed to mark the site where Jesus was crucified, buried and then resurrected.

1-Anything born or that lives must and will die! Living is the result of survival beating out death forces (such as microbes, virus, catastrophes, DNA mutations, genetic legacy, environmental changes, etc.).
2-Anything that died CAN NOT RETURN TO ITS ORIGINAL FORM AND LIVE! DEATH IS AN IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS LIKE ENTROPY (THERE IS NO RETURN)!
The faster you get that through your thick bonehead the less idiots will be killing people in the name of religion!
Perhaps the best solution is to stop closing schools and businesses during Holy week, since nowdays most Dominicans don't give a hoot, and let it just be another week. The ones that truly know the real meaning of this special week, will find the time and place for reflection, and I can assure you it will not be at a beach or bar
You are spot on.
Amber:
I rather drink to death in a bar then beeing killed by representatives of religion due to greed, like it happend to the inhabitants of this beautiful island some time back.
