Something spiritual is happening this Easter. Christ is risen, indeed. But so is Christianity around the world, despite the best efforts of the secular Left and pagan fanatics to undermine it.
In Europe, Africa, and the Americas, faith demonstrations are surging after a long decline. It’s like the Christianization of the Roman Empire all over again — tragically including the slaughter of the faithful.
In Spain, for instance, socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez tried to end the Semana Santa (Holy Week) tradition of male-only float bearers. Not because he and his ilk had a preferred way to worship Jesus, but to strike at the worship itself. “Holy Week must be egalitarian,” declared Equality Minister Ana Redondo. You read it right — Equality Minister — a title only a socialist dreamland would fabricate.
What has been the result of the government’s interference? A 163-percent increase from last year in international bookings for the ritual — 279-percent for the similarly beset British Christian tourists — and more fervent, massive crowds. Plus, one more thing — only men carrying the floats, in defiance of the Equality Minister.
