Zandio gets the toughieness level spot on for me. It is hard to choose between the four long clues so I won’t, but I will pick 27a as my favourite today.
If I haven’t clued anything you need help with please ask, as Big Dave says up there ^ we are all about “putting the words to lights”

In his much-praised last back pager https://bigdave44.com/2023/04/05/dt-30266/#comment-618941 Robyn invited you to try his Easter Sunday Toughie and I hope you do. It was a great way to start Easter Sunday.
A fine toughie for this Easter Sunday with plenty of references to “Him Upstairs” along with a couple of bits of Latin and South Coast geography, we have the lowing of cattle, piety and praise to the lord and a heavenly body to follow

A fine puzzle from proXimal today as usual, I struggle to keep the hints down to about half so a couple of bonus pics have crept in. The 3d Spoonerism at 1a gets my COTD what was yours?
14a and 16d clues today, I hope you find the checkers to find the answers

I think Robyn went a bit easier on me last night as the clocks went forward. We have 16a and 14d clues today and I have hinted half. I hope you find enough checkers to get the rest. The midwife that Mama Bee used to be was particularly amused by 8d and it was my favourite too, but 28a ran it close.
This isn’t getting the ring around the bath off (6a) so here we go…

Zandio gets to set the 60th Sunday Toughie today, I hope that it doesn’t keep me up all night as by the time you get to read this I will be out to Mother’s Day Lunch with Mama Bee (it didn’t- crossword solved before 01:00 7 hrs beauty sleep and hints done before 10:00). I hope that the brevity of hints is sufficient to get you close to the end and that you can help each other with any unhinted gaps without triggering the red pencil of doom from the powers that be.
A couple of parsings elude me (19d and the second word of 3d see bonus pic for the pad in question)
14a and 14d today and I have hinted half
