Ass Sunday

...behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt. (John 12:15, in part)

If you Christians want to worship something, why don’t you worship the ass? After all, it was the ass that bore the Messiah Jesus’ weight and delivered him to the city of Jerusalem. The palms on the other hand, were merely laid on the ground to be stepped on and crumbled.

Easter Island

Easter Island has no relationship to the Easter holiday...Easter Island lies in the South Pacific, approximately 2400 miles west of Chile. The Dutch Admiral Jacob Roggeveen reached the island on Easter Sunday in 1722 A.D., thus it was named in commemoration of the day.

Easter Island is now governed by Chile, whose vessels stop at the top at the island once or twice a year. Archaeologists believe that three cultural ages lived on the island. These people who specialized in masonry of large stones had developed a defense position. The eyeless statues built on Easter Island were destroyed by a later civilization. This civilization rebuilt the statues to form Ahus (raised temple platforms). They erected gigantic stone busts in human form on the Ahus.

Six-hundred large stones were carved from volcanic rock from the crater walls of the volcano, “Rana Roraka” during that period. The statues measure 40 feet (12 meters) tall. Hundreds have been moved to other parts of the island...The Peruvian slave trade and a smallpox epidemic nearly wiped out the population of Easter Island. When Christianity was introduced in 1868 A.D., the entire population had been moved to the small village of Hanga Roa on the west coast. The current inhabitants were conquered in 1670 A.D.
