All the Bingley churches unite for an act of witness in the market place. The "congregation" was all behind me when I took the photo.
Every Good Friday for the past few years, I've celebrated with a Dead Guy. Or two.
Don't tell the folks who make Resurrection—because that's a superlative beer—but this thing is the shiz. Yes, the best-tasting ale I've ever had. In fact, I'm such a fan of Rogue brewery that I might have to visit Portland JUST for that.

The main entrance into Tre'r Ceiri /
In his excellent book A History of Wales, John Davies writes: "Gwynedd has one of the most remarkable prehistoric sites in Britain - the settlement of Tre'r Ceiri on the slopes of Yr Eifl. It is surrounded by a stone wall which in places is still as much as four metres in height, and within the walls are the ruins of about a hundred and fifty stone huts. There is evidence that the village was occupied in the Roman period, but it appears that its beginnings below to the years around 200 BC. The huts, with their thick walls and turf roofs, were not doubt quite snug, but it is reasonable to assume - as Tre'r Ceiri is over 400 metres above sea level - that the huts were the summer habitation of summer shepherds whose winter dwellings in the lowlands have long since been obliterated."
Yn ei lyfr gwych Hanes Cymru, mae John Davies yn ysgrifennu: "Ceir clogwyn-gestyll ar arfordir gorllewin Gwynedd hefyd. Yno yn ogystal y mae un o safleoedd cynhanesyddol hynotaf Prydain, sef Tre'r Ceiri ar lechweddau'r Eifl. Fe'i hamgylchynir gan fur o gerrig sydd mewn mannau yn dal i fod gymaint a phedwar metr o uchder, ac o fewn ei muriau y mae cant a hanner o gytiau crwn. Cafwyd tystiolaeth am ddefnyddio'r pentref yn y cyfnod Rhufeinig ond ymddengys fod dechreuadau'r gaer yn perthyn i'r blynyddoedd o gwmpas 200 CC. Diau fod y cytiau yn eithaf clyd gyda'u muriau cerrig trwchus a'u toeau tywyrch, ond mae rhesymol yw credu - a'r pentref wedi leoli 400 metr uwchlaw'r mor - mai cartref i fugeiliaid haf ydoedd a bod eu hendrefi ar y gwastadeddau wedi'u dileu gan weithgarwch amaethyddol y canrifoedd."
