We have just completed what is the holiest time of the year for millions of people all over the world. Christians commemorated the sacred days leading to Easter, beginning with Palm Sunday. During this significant period, Christians reflect on Jesus Christ’s journey – his crucifixion, his resurrection and his message of divine mercy, justice for the oppressed, the conquest of sin and an offer of eternal life. It is the beginning of the Christian religion.
For Jews, Passover commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. The holiday lasts seven or eight days and is considered the start of Judaism.
At this time, we reflect on the journey of our immigrant brothers and sisters and what both religions have to say about immigration.
