You will find a religious crossroads this weekend as area Christians, Muslims, and Jews all celebrate holy events. The month-long Ramadan, the weeklong Passover, and the weekend-long Easter Tridium (Triduum) are all being recognized at the same time, an event that only happens once every 33 years. Many Door and Kewaunee county residents will be filing into churches to commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as a part of Easter celebrations. Pastor Joel McKenney hopes people leave St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Algoma with a feeling of hope.

The pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Luxemburg and Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Casco, Father Schuster, echoes those sentiments.

Immanuel Lutheran Church Pastor Matthew Sprunger says people need a savior and he hopes they find one in Jesus this weekend.

Area churches will have Easter services throughout the weekend. Green Bay is the home of the closest synagogue and mosque for those looking to commemorate Passover and Ramadan respectively.
