Today, Jill and I send warm wishes to all our friends in the Orthodox Christian community observing Easter. May the peace of Christ be with you now and always.

Not a single hour of this week before Orthodox Easter passed without 🇷🇺 murders and terror. This is an evil state, and it will lose. To win is our duty to humanity as such. And we will win! The longer-range Ukrainian strikes are, the sooner Russian atrocities will end. https://t.co/cFuewV3KFz

Apartheid Israel just can’t leave people alone. After harassing Muslims during Ramadan, they moved on to Christians as they were trying to reach the Holy Sepulcher during Orthodox Easter (Holy Saturday). https://t.co/T30oQFlBIR

Powerful time to be in the Holy Land with Easter, Passover, and Ramadan converging. I visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for the Holy Fire Ceremony today. We wish a blessed Easter to Orthodox Christians celebrating globally and continue to support religious freedom for all. https://t.co/ZkXdwZJ1CT
