Near Eastertime, our newest write, Gaheret, began developing a series meditating on the holiday and relating specifically to the Ten Commandments. With this morning’s post, the series has been completed, and I hope you’ll read through them. Although Gaheret is a lawyer in Spain by trade, his posts are particularly un-barristerlike, full of rich details and connections that resonate to one’s soul.
Here’s your opportunity to read through the series or revisit the posts if you’ve been following all along. Note that different traditions number the commandments differently, and Gaheret follows the Catholic faith in doing so:
Commandments 1-3
1. I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me.
The Promised Neverland
2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Serial Experiments Lain
3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
Kino’s Journey
Commandments 4-5
4. Honor thy father and mother.
My Hero Academia
5. Thou shalt not kill.

Seems like your first link might be down! I also happen to be a barrister with a side hobby of writing on anime blog, was quite funny to hear of someone else in the same position. Members of the profession I know can be a bit uptight and not too keen to embrace hobbies like that.
Fixed! Thank you!
