| Went down to St. Cyprian's for the Easter Vigil service. It's about five and a half blocks away, so I walk there. Was amused on the way back to see someone drive back home — two blocks away and I crossed him before he pulled into his driveway. Four youngsters — three of them looked like teenagers, and the fourth may have been older — were baptised today, and another two (six in all) (both teenagers) were confirmed. The priest completely drenched the baptised kids with holy water and then they went backstage to change into white clothing. I've never seen anything like it before, and from the looks of it, neither had anyone else in the congregation. Also noticed that the church provides candles for everyone at the service. I didn't know that in advance, so spent a little while searching for a simple candle at Lucky. The only ones I could find were the kind you use for a romantic candlelight dinner - at least that's what the label said, and it was priced accordingly. Luckily the checkout machine knew nothing about romantic candles from the stationery section, so the helper out there charged me a dollar for it. Anyway, Happy Easter everyone. It feels like four years ago again, when I spent my first Easter away from home. Back then I had Easter dinner with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} jessyleen. Let's see what I do this year. | ||||||||
