Temperatures in the low 60s in no way
deterred hundreds of people from gather-
ing before dawn to celebrate Easter on Lido
Key Beach.
Conducted by the Church of the Palms, the
service began at 6:30 a.m. near the Pavilion.
The line where the gray sky met the gray Gulf
of Mexico may have been barely distinct at
times, but the light shone brightly on the cross
and the shroud marking the risen Lord. %
