PENSACOLA, Fla. (WKRG) — Hey y’all and Happy Easter! Today is the day that Christians gather to celebrate the event that changed the world forever. The day that a group of grieving women gathered at a tomb only to be told, “He is not here. He is risen.”I have visited the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem many times. When I go on these Holy Land visits, we usually end our pilgrimage here. We visit the empty tomb, we gather for communion, we pray, and we leave with something in us changed.
