BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, NORTH SHORE CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AT GLEN HEAD, GLENWOOD LANDING, SEA CLIFF, NASSAU COUNTY, NEW YORK

ELIZABETH A. CIAMPI, DISTRICT CLERK 138490 blessed with a Jewish guide and friendly Muslim hosts who attended to us with great kindness along the way. For example, the keys to the ancient Church of the Holy Sepulcher whose ownership is shared by six different Christian denominations have been kept by two Muslim families for years as a way of maintaining a neutral guardian of this sacred space. We were honored to meet one of the keepers of the keys during our visit. This faithful and friendly servant of God is not paid for this labor of love but is honored to have the job. One of the holiest sites in Christianity, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, has been in continuous use for over 1,700 years and is the ancient shrine where many scholars believe Jesus was crucified and laid in a borrowed tomb.

In addition to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, we visited the Garden of Gethsemane with its ancient olive trees and walked the Via Dolorosa or “way of sorrows,” the name given to the wandering way that many believe Jesus walked on the way to the cross. We, also, visited the Garden Tomb which is a rock-cut tomb similar to the tomb in which Jesus would have been laid. At the Garden Tomb, our group celebrated communion and proclaimed the Easter message that Christ is risen. He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Christians believe that each Sunday is a mini-Easter, a reminder of the good news of the resurrection.

On the very first Easter, some of the women who followed Jesus went to the tomb to wrap Jesus’ body in spices.

Instead, they encountered an empty tomb. Matthew 28:2-4 tells us, “After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look into the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and going to the tomb, rolled back the stone, and sat on it.” Later, the angel said to Mary, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? Jesus is not here, for he has risen just as he said!” The stone was rolled away. Christ is risen!

What does Easter mean for us today?

There is no stone that God cannot roll away.

As we emerge from the difficult coronavirus pandemic years where many of us lost friends and loved ones, we can know that God is with us, and God still has power to roll away the stone of grief from our hearts. All of Christianity can be summed up in this one sentence, “God brings life out of death.” God brings peace out of violence. God brings unity out of division. God brings hope out of despair. God brings joy out of sorrow.

We wish all of our neighbors a blessed and holy Easter! If you are not already worshipping in a local church, you are warmly invited to worship with us at Our Savior’s in Glen Head on Easter Sunday at 10 a.m.

THE GREAT BOOK GURU One man’s journey

Dear Great Book Guru,

Last night I was at a party and many of the guests were talking about a recently published book by a Sea Cliff resident. It sounded fascinating, covering local history, the world of sports and the healing powers of poetry! I can’t wait to read it. Are you familiar with this book?

–Amazed and Eager

Dear Amazed and Eager, Hank Bjorklund’s latest work, “Head Hits icled here in beautiful detail. We also learn of the toll that head hits and concussions take on the brains of young athletes and on Bjorklund himself.

The Board of Trustees will meet on the following date: Thursday, April 13, 2023 at 8 a.m. in Room C in Village Hall Dated: April 4, 2023

Sarah Beaudin Sea Cliff, NY

I Remember” is indeed a fascinating look at so many aspects of a world we think we know. Former New York Jet, Bjorklund writes about his early childhood sports adventures followed by his time here at North Shore High School as he catapulted to fame. His years at Princeton and his marriage to fellow student Victoria are all chron-

The latter part of the book includes selections of his poetry and prose which grew out of coping with the pain and life-altering conditions brought on by a sport that brought much but at a terrible price. Throughout, we bear witness to a remarkable man who has endured and chooses to share his experiences for the betterment of many. An immensely rewarding book and highly recommended!

Bjorklund will be discussing and reading from “Head Hits I Remember” at the Sea Cliff Library on April 29 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
