discuss with at least two pieces of relevant evidence.

Well, i've only got one piece of evidence, but it's a good one. It's still winter here, and it's well over six weeks since February 2nd.

@Setanta,
They have sunrise services for the obsessed. I wonder if they still play accordions in church?

Some obviously do.
Below is a video from a mass in the Roman-Catholic church in Babarc/Hungary (that's close to the borders with Croatia and Serbia). It's in German, because the people there are mainly "Danube Swabians"

Danube Swabians ? ! ? ! ?

I thought they could take care of that with antibiotics.

They (the Hungarians, Russians, and Serbians/'Yugoslavs') just killed many after WWII.

The answer is unequivocally, no.

How can this be known? Three reasons.

First off, the sun would have been in back of him as he skipped down the road. (He was known to love skipping, even insisted that all the disciples do it daily). He was headed in an east-southeast direction.

Secondly , Mary Magdalena would have mentioned if the sun was shining because she had an aversion to sun days. Which brings us to our third piece of evidence....


Mary Magdalena never went outside on sunny days without her parasol and since there's no mention of her having dropped her parasol in shock upon seeing Jesus, we know it was an overcast day.

@Sturgis,
clear and well reasoned.
So Jesus did NOT predict 6 more weeks of winter?

@farmerman,
No. You see Jesus had failed his meteorology studies at St.Ignatius College.

You're perhaps thinking of his most favored disciple Murray the cheese vendor who sold groundhogs on the side.

I am of the understanding that not only could he see his shadow, but make imaginative shapes with it.

In the version of the Bible that we read at school, he not only magicked up a whole lot of fish and loaf shapes one day, but also a tortoise, a mad March hare and a Donald Duck profile, complete with moving beak.

@Lordyaswas,
He likely was drunk on wine he created from water.

@farmerman,
Sometimes the evidence you are looking for is right under your nose. It's just a matter of being willing to see it.

@Lordyaswas,
Thankfully it has been a short winter here... And spring is most definitely my favorite season now. It was a toss up for a long for me between fall and spring. But this year I actually get it. Fall is about letting go of what has already passed, and spring is about new beginnings. Smile

@farmerman,
I thought that if he saw his shadow it meant two thousand more years of man's dominion of the earth! Apparently it was sunny that long-ago Easter day.
