CAMP AL QA'IM, Iraq -- There were no colored Easter egg hunts for 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment here, but thanks to the construction of a bigger chapel, one tradition will continue for more Marines this year; going to Easter service.The new chapel, constructed in the old dining facility here, seats about 130 people compared to the old chapel nicknamed the "soul train", which was aboard a former passenger train car that seated only 30."The size of the soul train was too small for the amount of people who began showing up to service. A lot of people had to stand during services and we didn't have enough room," explained Navy Lt. John Anderson, the battalion chaplain.Although many of the services will be in the new chapel, the soul train will still serve a purpose."I'll keep it as my office and we will still hold small discussion groups, Bible studies and smaller services," Anderson said.Constructed by the battalion's Marines, the new chapel allows for larger services, which Anderson says is much needed."As more Marines and Sailors begin to come to service, the larger the chapel, the more comfortable they'll be, because it can get cramped in the soul train," he continued. "With the construction, this new venue will be its own chapel, not an old train or a dining facility, but the camp chapel."There was a sunrise service at 6a.m., which according to Anderson, was a special occasion."It signifies the son of God rising from the dead, as the sun comes up," Anderson explained.After the sunrise service, the normal Catholic and Protestant services were both held, once in the morning hours and once in the evening; but, this time in the new, larger chapel giving more Marines and Sailors a chance to celebrate Easter."We celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is central to Christianity. We celebrated the most important day in our religion together as Christians," Anderson explained.
