Pesach Cafe

Pete Vander Muelen

When I was young, I wondered why my Easter egg decorating kit said it was for "Paques." That's just the French for the old Latin term "Pascha" which just means Pesach or Passover. Most Romance language countries call Easter something like "Paques:" -- Spanish Pascua, Italian Pasqua. Easter is specifically an Old English word and probably means "dawn."

The English word "Easter" originates from Old English Eastre or Eostre, likely derived from a Proto-Germanic root for "dawn" (austron-) or a springtime goddess associated with the east. This name is traditionally linked to the rising sun, symbolizing the resurrection, and was adopted to replace earlier Pascha celebrations.

Rescuing a neglected senior dog (who looks like a teddy bear now).

Last week I posted a short video of a bear waking up from hibernation with Stage IV bedhead. There's more to the story. That was an elderly circus bear callously discarded by the people he used to make money for. He's now been rescued and given his own paddock to walk around in.

Lightning strikes are God's way of telling you Do Better. #DoBetter, people.

Cats are why we can't have nice things. Further evidence.

I will never forget this dog's birthday party because it's a nightmare dreamed by a demon.
