DNA science aims to solve Dead Sea Scrolls puzzle
In Salt Lake City and Jerusalem researchers use DNA from tiny Dead Sea Scrolls fragments to identify parchment origins and species. BYU microbiology professor Scott Woodward anchors the project, seeking to group scrolls by location and clarify whether Essene or broader Palestine writings predominate, while scholars caution that DNA is just one piece of a larger deciphering effort.

Ash Wednesday and Lent Through the Ages in New Orleans
In New Orleans, Ash Wednesday marks Lent which is far less strict today than in medieval times. Mardi Gras remains a major, $600 million celebration while feasting and carnivals have eased. Historian Denis Janz notes Lent’s stricter past included abstinence and annual confessions, though today many observe it with ash on the forehead and lighter sacrifices.
