A church should face East where possible, that is, the altar will be at the eastern end

Your right Rod, the congregation should be facing "east in readiness for the second coming of Jesus"
The symbolism is where Jesus will come again, for example in the Book of Matthew 24:27:
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
or even the fact that the Star that symbolised the birth of Jesus appeared in the East (Matthew 2:1-2):
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.
Quite proud I managed to nearly reach chief choirboy in my youth always remember Mrs Binnig the organist dancing on the foot pedals in high heel shoes.

Todays thoughts for a less stressful life don't read any newspapers the contents are always slanted by people who have a vested interest in convincing Joe Public which way they should be thinking and what they should believe
If you have no willpower and you succumb to reading crap don't let the b#st#rds grind you down
If you must watch the news on TV turn off subtitles and mute the sound and wait for a good camera shot of either Jane Hill's or Lucy Verasamy's exquisite and ample bosoms quality and appreciate the fact that a good looking woman is good on the eyes and stirs the soul and a mumsy good looking lesbian stirs the parts that fantasy's are dreamt of
Yes I need therapy

Re: Well now you cant buy EASTER EGGS
Do they not just face east to pray?
If you go east or west far enough you will hit the kabaal or whatever it is

No, they pray to Mecca, their holy city which holds the tomb of their prophet Mohammed
Go to any hotel in a Muslim country and somewhere in every room there will an arrow pointing towards Mecca so that they know the direction in which to kneel when they prey.
Go on board an airline from a Muslim country (Emirates, Etihad, Gulf Air etc) and there will be a display with an arrow that moves so that it continually points to Mecca.

I buy the Sun every day, the reasoning being is that I know it's crap to start with so I don't believe anything in it, I just read it for the laugh.
