Daylight Savings - Global Scenes

Greece Changes to Daylight Savings Time

Time changes in Greece in the early hours of Sunday. 3 a.m. clocks will turn to 4 a.m. as Daylight Savings Time goes into effect.
Most countries in Europe spring forward 1 hour at 01:00 UTC. Local time for the change is different in each time zone.
Each year, Daylight Savings Time goes into effect on the last Sunday of March, to turn back again on the last Sunday of October.
There is discussion in the European Union to abolish DST. In February, the European Parliament voted to re-evaluate DST in Europe urging the EU Commission to consider putting an end to adjusting the clocks back and forward 1 hour.
The majority of European Parliament Members voted for the abolition of DST and it is now up to the European Commission to decide whether Europeans will continue springing the clock one hour forward and backward each year.

Good Friday message - Global Scenes

Good Friday message reflects the beliefs of Grandmothers Against Detention of Refugee Children It’s Good Friday . Which is good because most people get a day off. Except us. But we had a day off on Wednesday, so we’re not complaining. As most people know, Good Friday is a Christian holiday that marks the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The Wikipedia entry on Jesus kicks off by saying he was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader. It goes on to say that Jesus is the central figure of  Christianity and that some people believe him to be the  son of God and the  messiah, as written in the Old Testament. But for the purposes of this article, let’s call him an ancient philosopher. That’s not because we think he is or isn’t the messiah.
