Two Symbols-One Sign – Bo – Jan. 23
From my apartment in Jerusalem I am greeted by the muslim call to prayer five times each day, church bells are rung three times each day: morning, noon, and night, and I hear the sound of the Sabbath horn each Friday before sunset.

The Jewish celebration of Passover and the Christian observation of the death and resurrection of Yeshua from the grave (generally referred to as “Easter”) are often observed on the same weekend, however, in some years they can be observed up to a month apart. The connection between Passover and the death and resurrection of Yeshua are […]
