Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Folks, welcome to the Eric McTaxe show. Guess what? Remember? Remember I had a friend named John Smirak. Yeah? Well, here he is. John, welcome. Hi, Eric. Happy Easter. Happy Easter to you. I always have conflicted every year because we haven't celebrated Greek Orthodox Easter. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm still kind of holding it back. Well, isn't it bizarre, though, that, you know, I just feel that way every year.

And so when the two are on the same date, every five or six years, I feel restored

and whole.

But anyway.

Yeah, I agree.

And I like my dream is that they all be on the same day and Passover,

that they all coincide every year.

Yeah.

And then the end will come.

And then the valley of Maggito.

I want to talk to you about current events.

One of the current events is Jesus is risen from the grave.

Behind you, if people are watching this on video, they can see the resurrection.

Who did that painting?

You know, I have the painting.

I don't have the painter's information.

I'm guessing it's 17th century because it's kind of mannerist.

It's the point of view of one of the Roman guards while it happens.

It has the, it has that look that isn't it interesting that we can sort of guess the century

from the, from the calves, from the size of the calf muscles, right?

It's almost as if we got educated at a once-grade institution.
