Patrick Hogge, left, a senior studying aviation technology from Taylorville, carries the cross along with members of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry to the Morris Library on Tuesday, March 27, 2018, during their annual crosswalk event leading up to Easter Sunday. Through Jesus we have been given a great gift, something that we could never attain on our own, Hogge said. Its not something that runs out, its not something we have a limited quantity of so we just want to share it with as many people as we can. (Cameron Hupp | @CHupp04)

Auto technician and volunteer fire fighter George Cook, of Evansville, throws kindle onto the Spirit Fire on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016, during the Southern Illinois Pagan Alliances Samhain celebration at Crab Orchard Campground. Cook has been a member of the alliance for eight years and identifies as an eclectic Pagan. I love that Paganism is an earth-based religion that brings all sorts of people together, Cook said. Its just like when Christians came over here, Native Americans were classified as Pagans because they didnt believe in the Christian God, but they worshipped Mother Earth and Father Sky. They took care of their land and the land provided for them. Thats the path I follow. During the ceremony, participants used the Spirit Fire to banish internal aspects of their life they wished to let go of, Cook said. (Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms)

Wisam Aldayyeni, a doctoral student in mechanical and computer engineering from Baghdad; Said Bakkar, a graduate student in physics from Amman, Jordan; Abdulrahman Alowais, a freshman studying aviation technology from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; and Tariq Khaaliq, from Carbondale, kneel in silent prayer February 1, 2016, at the Carbondale Muslim Center. “I believe now some of the U.S. citizens believe you’re ISIS if you say you’re Muslim,” Alowais said, “but we have verses in our Holy Quran that say if you kill one person for no reason, you kill all of mankind. If you help someone live, it’s like helping all humans live... In Islam you pray, you ask God for forgiveness, and you go out and try to make people happy.”
