Hubby and I
decided to go to the city this morning for a few groceries. We went early in
time to be home to watch our favorite team play basketball. We, also, went
early to beat the Sunday after church crowds. That got us talking about our
Easter plans this year. I thought I was having Easter this year, but daughter
no.1 decided to have it on Easter Sunday. She is more centrally located. That in itself is going to be
different. We always have Easter on Holy Saturday so that everyone can go to
their own church for Easter Sunday. So that left us two options. Go to the
Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday at 7 p.m. or the Easter Sunday Mass at 8
a.m. Neither option sounded that appealing for us. Easter Vigil Mass is usually
an hour and half, making it near 9 p.m. before we get home. But getting up and
being to church by 7:30 a.m. didn’t sound so fun either. We decided since we
are to be in Des Moines, a couple of hours away Easter around 11, we better go
the Easter Vigil Mass. Boy, I better get
to where I was going with this post. Talking about what to do, got hubby and I
talking about the Easter Vigil Mass in the past. As you know, we have four
daughters all born within 5 years. All had long hair as little girls. And our
church always passes out candles to all attending that are lit during the early
part of the Mass. Our girls were fascinated with fire like most kids. I would
spend that part of Mass watching and worrying about one of them going up in
flames. The good Lord was with us and a million other little kids over the
years, because I have never heard of a case of injury. I am sure I will have
flash backs to those Masses of long ago this year when we attend the Easter
Vigil on Saturday.
Enjoy the day,
Rose
I could imagine that you would have to be on constant alert during the mass, fire and hair isn't a great combination.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you will have a full Easter Weekend.

This will be our first year completing the Tridium...we are going to the Vigil. I was always worried about the candles!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect web site for anyone who really wants to understand this topic.

that has been written about for decades.
Great stuff, just excellent!
