Each spring, Baylor students, faculty and staff receive Good Friday and the following Monday as holidays so that they can spend Easter with loved ones. As we celebrate our Lord’s resurrection at Easter, it’s worth stopping and taking a minute to be thankful that we are part of a university family that not only is allowed to celebrate the true meaning behind Easter, but that is encouraged to do so.
Reminders of this gift are everywhere on campus, from the cross in the Robinson Tower lobby pictured at right (made possible by a gift from longtime Baylor professor and friend Sadie Jo Black, BS ’50), to the Holy Week service held at Seventh & James Baptist Church Wednesday night, to the plastic Easter eggs students found scattered across campus Thursday (each with a printed Bible verse inside).
Sic ’em, Easter people!
