#easter holidays
This year, I will not be going to our overcrowded local neighborhood church racing through palm leaf craftspeople and sellers for Palms Sunday. I will not be attending a single day of Esboo el Alaam (Holy Week) prayers, and feel the communal energy that drives us as we all pray in unison. I will not attend El Gomaa el Aazima (Good Friday) at church and sit gazing through the crowd as I try to spot family members from afar before…
