President Bush said on Saturday he hoped this week's celebrations of Easter and Passover comfort the many Americans who may still be grieving nearly seven months after the Sept. 11 attacks. "For many, the grief and sense of loss will never fully pass, and they are in our thoughts, especially in this holy season," said Bush, who is spending a weekend break at his Texas ranch. This week is special for millions of Americans of the Jewish and Christian faiths. The Jewish Passover began on Wednesday evening while Sunday marks Easter for Christians.
