Oh my. And, yes, that happened.
Can't make this up: NYT issues correction on Easter, a holiday about which they apparently weren't that familiar: http://t.co/iW1sv5Uwis

NewsBusters has the original text of NYT Easter flub: http://t.co/rzb5IHqdgC

More from NewsBusters:
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection into heaven of Jesus, three days after he was crucified, the premise for the Christian belief in an everlasting life. In urging peace, Francis called on Jesus to ”change hatred into love, vengeance into forgiveness, war into peace.”
The Times issued this correction:
An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the Christian holiday of Easter. It is the celebration of Jesus’s resurrection from the dead, not his resurrection into heaven.
Mistakes happen. But this one is incredible.

Worse: The writer of the article is a reporter based in Rome, who frequently reports on the Vatican. No, really.

Lol. The NYT had to issue a correction because they don't understand what this newfangled "Easter" is about. http://t.co/FZ45Ya2Vbj
