The 23rdchapter of the Gospel according to St. Luke describes the death of Jesus on the
cross and the 24th chapter gives the resurrection. At the end of
chapter 23 there is a little transitional note: “On the Sabbath” [the followers
of Jesus] rested according to the commandments.” It was a needed rest I’m sure,
between the excruciating stress they had endured the previous day and the
flurry of activity that was about to come in the days, weeks and years ahead
for Christianity.
Now, as for my Easter
weekend, Holy Week has been busy. Tomorrow will surely be a big day. Today I
have a chance to rest, think quietly and write a little. I chose Beck’sSapphire for my day of rest.
Having seen this in
stores for some time now, I was under the impression from the black label that
it was a dark beer. I also assumed it was German. But alas, on closer examination
it is a pilsner brewed in St. Louis. Still, it accomplishes its purpose. It
tastes good and helps me relax and rest.
