Adams Co. Pet of the Week: Ammi

Hey folks, I’m Ammi. The people that run Adams County Pet Rescue say I’m an Australian Shepherd-Husky mix, but I’m not sure what they’re talkin’ about, because I think I’m 100% cute and I’ve NEVER been to Australia.

Cheers, flames as Orthodox worshipers greet 'Holy Fire'

Christian Orthodox worshippers in Jerusalem have thronged the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in one of the most chaotic gatherings in the Christian calendar. Cheers and prayers rang out as candles one by one were lit after reaching through a small opening into Jesus' tomb. Soon, the dim chamber was lit by a constellation of handheld flames as part of the rite of Orthodox Easter week in Jerusalem. Worshipers believe the flame's origin is a miracle. There is not enough space for all who would like to attend, which has caused friction with Israeli authorities in the past. But Saturday's event was joyous, if jostling, and reflective amid the Israel-Hamas war not far away.

French-born artist finds inspiration on remote Easter Island

Rapa Nui – the remote Chilean territory in the mid-Pacific widely known as Easter Island – is home to a Catholic church featuring artwork that reflects the islanders' ancestral culture as well as Christian beliefs. Among the works are stained glass windows -- created by a French-born artist – that portray figures resembling Rapa Nui's inhabitants. The artist, Delphine Poulain, was born in Paris 52 years ago and has been in love with Rapa Nui since she first visited in 1994. At the time, Poulain lived in Tahiti, working as a professional sailor. One trip to Rapa Nui was enough to envision a future home in the land of extinct volcanoes and monolithic statues called moai.
