Easter Encore Documentaries -- CNN - Saturday and Sunday, April 15 - 16, 2006 (See specials and times below)

On March 29th, we recommended a program called The Last Days of Pope John Paul II. Now, on Easter Eve, CNN is rebroadcasting this documentary on the recent Pontiff who is apparently on the fast track to sainthood. This two-hour special is set for airing on both Saturday and Sunday at 7 p.m. (EDT).
A second special for the holiday weekend is The Mystery of Jesus, which promises an examination of Jesus' life, including the promise of a look at some of his life's "unanswered questions." You'll have to watch to see if the special includes answers to those questions as well. This special airs on Saturday only at 11 p.m. (EDT).
Finally, The Two Marys: The Madonna and the Magdalene to some extent plays on the popularity of author Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code to offer a revealing glimpse of two crucial figures in Christianity. It airs on Saturday at 6 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Sunday at 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. (all EDT).

Three rare serious looks at religious issues offering more than hidden eggs and chocolate bunnies for Easter weekend.
