A momentous day
A rare confluence of notable days in one day today:
Good Friday
The Feast of the Annunciation
Purim
The casting of the Ring into the Crack of Doom
Re: the latter, & in honor of all, here's a word picture of the triumph of good over evil, from the Christian imagination of JRR Tolkien, in The Return of the King:
And even as he spoke the earth rocked beneath their feet. Then rising swiftly up, far above the Towers of the Black Gate, high above the mountains, a vast soaring darkness sprang into the sky, flickering with fire. The earth groaned and quaked. The Towers of the Teeth swayed, tottered, and fell down; the mighty rampart crumbled; the Black Gate was hurled in ruin; and from far away, now dim, now growing, now mounting to the clouds, there came a drumming rumble, a roar, a long echoing roll of ruinous noise.
"The realm of Sauron is ended!" said Gandalf. "The Ring-bearer has fulfilled his Quest."
