Every Sunday is a feast day of the Resurrection.
The photo is a first century tomb under the convent where we have been staying in Nazereth. It, of course, is not the tomb belonging to Joseph of Aremethea in which the body of Jesus was laid, but gives a sense of what a tomb of an upper-middle class family might have been like. Notice the stone that has been rolled away to open the door - gives a whole new picture for the gospel readings on Easter Sunday morning.
Today we are off to Mount Tabor where Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James and John. Our group will celebrate the Eucharist there before heading to Caesarea Maritima and then back to Jerusalem.
Happy Sunday from the Holy Land!
Alleluia, Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
