Happy Easter and Happy Passover to our readers around the world. Later today, Mark will have a poem for the season from his ongoing anthology of video poetry, and a song for the season as part of Steyn's Song of the Week. We also have Mel Gibson on The Passion of the Christ, Victor Hugo on the bells of Easter morn, and Laura Rosen Cohen on Passover.

Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:

~The biggest news of the week in America was, after almost a quarter-millennium, the very first arrest of a US president. On Monday's Steyn Show, Mark previewed Tuesday's events with his old boss and longtime Trump friend Conrad Black:

On Tuesday's Steyn Show, as Trump was being arraigned in Manhattan, Mark spoke to former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann:

And finally Steyn gave his own take on the day's events to his old EIB comrade on Bo Snerdley's Rush Hour:

Mr Snerdley and Michele Bachmann will be among Mark's shipmates on this year's Mark Steyn Cruise.

~In non-Trump news, the week began with Tal Bachman feeling gayed out and Mark celebrating two songs that couldn't be more different.

~On Monday a new week of The Mark Steyn Show kicked off with Mark revisiting the great injustice inflicted on the vaccine-crippled:

~On Wednesday, The Mark Steyn Show returned with Leilani Dowding, Alexandra Marshall and Samantha Smith taking the pulse of the planet - and Mark revealing that he had been locked out of his YouTube account by Google's totalitarian goons for posting this:

Later, Alexandra gave her take on the King's former New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, joining the board of the Prince of Wales's climate charity:

~Samantha Smith returned for Maundy Thursday's Steyn Show - a special edition with Mark looking at the industrial-scale sex slavery of English working-class girls by Pakistani child-rape gangs, curiously protected by police, politicians, social workers and the highest levels of the British state. We won't even try posting that on YouTube, but you can see the full show by clicking here.

~On Good Friday Mark hosted a special Clubland Q&A taking questions from Steyn Club members live around the planet mostly on the state of Christendom in this third millennium, and including some transcendent music by Haydn and Allegri. You can listen to the whole show here.

~For his Saturday movie date, Rick McGinnis picked an Easter wabbit.

We are just over a week away from the publication of Mark's new book: The Prisoner of Windsor. If you'd like a personally inscribed copy, please click here. If you can live without Steyn's autograph, click here. There are more details below.

Aside from picking up a copy of The Prisoner of Windsor, there are at least three other ways of supporting Mark's important lawsuit against the UK state censor Ofcom in the English High Court, including:

a) signing up a friend for a Steyn Club Gift Membership;

b) buying a SteynOnline gift certificate; or

c) treating your loved one to a stateroom on July's Mark Steyn Cruise.

In the first two cases, 100 per cent of the proceeds go to a grand cause - and, in all three, you or your beloved gets something, too.

As to that new book, The Prisoner of Windsor:

The Mark Steyn Show and Clubland Q&A are special productions of The Mark Steyn Club, now in its sixth year. If you'd like to join our ranks, we'd love to have you.

A new week at SteynOnline begins later today with our Easter edition of Steyn's Sunday Poem, Tal Bachman on The Bachman Beat, and Mark's Song for the Season.
