One of the more obscure, and tragic, stories of Easter Week concerns Abraham Weeks, a London Jew on-the-run who found himself in Dublin just as Easter Week was beginning.
May 3 marks the death of 1916 Easter Rising Leader Padraig Pearse, who was among the 15 men court-marshaled by the British for their role in the Rising's organization and operation. Pearse was executed three days after giving his surrender letter to General Lowe.
