This post arrives on Easter Sunday. This past Friday is known as Good Friday. Easter is a day of joy and celebration; Good Friday is day of reflection and sorrow. Church decorations on Easter feature white lilies; two days earlier the dominant color was black. The cross at the front of my church was draped with black and adorned with a circle of thorns. In this issue I ponder the presence of thorns in places of sanctuary, what I call “prickles in paradise.”
