He is risen, Alleluia Alleluia!

The Resurrection Window, over the altar

St. Landry Catholic Church, Opelousas, Louisiana

Easter is here --- and we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord. The Resurrection Window at our church is a powerful image. One of the Roman soldiers has been knocked down. Christ stands on an opened sepulchre with a staff bearing his standard. Below him is a casted off cloak and the crown of thorns. He's clothed now in fine clothes and raises his right hand in a blessing. A flower next to the sepulchre blooms.

Today is also the 1st anniversary of our new look website and our blog. It's been a wonderful year, sharing all of the things going on in and around our parish as well as all things Catholic around the world. We've received kind comments and questions from around the world, have had some of our artwork featured in diocesan magazines as far as Spain, and have had some of our information featured in other blogs on the internet. We've started a presence on Twitter and Facebook, set up a YouTube channel, and have started a new presence for the St. Landry Bell on those social sites as well.

Thanks to everyone for all of the positive feedback and we hope to be an even better resource into the future.
