Female suicide bomber attacks Syriac church on Easter day in northern Syria. (AM).
On Sunday evening, a female suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt in front of the St. George Syriac Orthodox Church in the city of Ras Al-‘Ayn, killing and wounding several civilians in the process.
According to local activists, the woman was reportedly a displaced Syrian from the provincial capital of the Al-Raqqa Governorate – her identity was not revealed.
Ras Al-‘Ayn is currently under the control of the predominately Kurdish “People’s Protection Units” (YPG) and their political wing “Democratic Union Party” (PYD); this city has been the target of several attacks by the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) and Turkish Army.

EGYPT - Egyptian President Sisi Invited to the Easter Vigil from the Coptic Orthodox Church
EGYPT - Egyptian President Sisi Invited to the Easter Vigil from the Coptic Orthodox Church. (Fides).[GoogleTranslated].
Cairo (Agenzia Fides) - The Coptic Orthodox Church has called on Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, to participate in the Easter Vigil, to be celebrated on the evening of April 11 by Patriarch Tawadros II in the Cathedral of St. Mark in Cairo . This is shown by the Egyptian sources consulted by Fides.
Besides the Chairman, the Coptic Orthodox Church has already sent official invitations to a long list of political leaders and representatives of Egyptian institutions. In addition, 5,000 tickets for the faithful have been printed to allow them to participate in the liturgy of the Easter Vigil.
President al-Sisi has already participated in the vigil of the Coptic Christmas, in the evening of January 6, welcome in the Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Cairo by Patriarch Tawadros II and by the enthusiasm of the faithful. On this occasion, the personal participation of Egyptian president at the vigil in question - as was explained to Fides.
Bishop Antonios Aziz Mina Coptic Catholic Bishop of Giza - "represented an unprecedented event in the history of Egypt. In the past, the presidents were limited to send representatives.
Some Egyptian Presidents - including Hosni Mubarak and the Islamist Mohamed Morsi - presented their Christmas greetings to Patriarch through phone calls courtesy, while others - like Nasser and former Interim President Adly Mansour - had made courtesy calls to the Patriarch in the days before Coptic Christmas. " Hmmm.....Lets hope the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't use the occasion to commit more terrorist attacks.

Michelle Obama: Obama family Sundays are more for napping than church.

Michelle Obama: Obama family Sundays are more for napping than church.(WATI).
First lady Michelle Obama told “LIVE with Kelly and Michael” co-hosts Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa that Sundays for the first family have become more about napping, downtime and family time than about church or godly worship.She made the comments in response to a question from the co-hosts during the Easter Egg Roll at the White House, when they asked for a description of a typical Obama family Sunday, Breitbart reported.
Mrs. Obama said: “We try to go to church as much as possible, but when the kids get older, you know, Sunday is some kind of practice, rehearsal, birthday party, you know. So getting us all together on a Sunday is becoming more difficult now that the girls are getting older. But if we’re not going to church, we really try to use Sunday as family downtime where we can kind of breathe and catch up and maybe take a little nap every now and then if we’re not working.”
Mr. Strahan followed up, Breitbart reported: “So if it’s not Easter and it’s a typical Sunday, I could picture you guys lounging around here and napping.”
And Mrs. Obama: “Yes, the Truman balcony which is right up here is the one place we can go which is sort of like our backyard and you have a great view of the Washington Monument. We spend a lot of time when the weather’s warm on the Truman balcony hanging out.”Hmmmm....A pitty she didn't go to see the pope as well this month, she could have told him in person.Read the full story here.
