A little note

As I am currently in Jerusalem for Easter and staying a while, I am mostly writing about Easter events here. I don't feel the need, or see the point, in posting to both blogs if the topics are the same. Some may pertain mostly to Christians in the Middle East, regardless of the time of year, which I would post here. Obviously if it's Easter-appropriate then it will go on the other blog.

That is all :)

I am wishing everyone a very happy Easter season and celebration!! +

'Incendies' Movie

Flying. I really do not like to fly but I gladly endure it to have life-altering experiences. 

I would never expect to see important and/or meaningful movies offered for viewing

on a flight, yet that is what happened on my Air Canada flight to Tel Aviv 4 days ago.

The movie in question is a Canadian movie called "Incendies" which translates to "Fires." 

It is basically about 2 Canadian twins who, upon their Christian mother's death, 

go in search to uncover a secret from her past. Since the movie is about the Lebanese
civil war, I presume that the mother is Christian Lebanese. However the movie is never
really specific about the location, which could have been done intentionally.

This is definitely a memorable movie but also tops my "saddest movies I've ever seen" list. 

It's in Canadian French and Arabic and is subtitled.

Be ready to watch/do something ridiculously cheerful after viewing this!!!
