Managed to get to a vigil service for the first time in a decade, so I'm happy.

Alleluia! -------------------- Don't get your knickers in a twist over your advancing age. It achieves nothing and makes you walk funny. Prayer should be our first recourse, not our last resort 'Lord, please give us patience. NOW!'

I have one question though, "Who the heck ordered snow this morning?" I just looked out(NE Kansas, USA), and there's light snow on the branches and ground, with a few flakes still falling. Chilly and wet, but SNOW? I was out late last night for the Vigil service. It was a little more lightly attended than usual, I woouldn't want to think that the fact there was an important basketball game being broadcast had anything to do with it. BTW, the University of Kansas LOST!!! Maybe if you had been in church... I spoke after the service with the cathedral dean and he made a joke like that. I said he should have a sermon about it and he said if he suggested the Jayhawk fans were lacking in faith he'd be ridden out of town on a rail. -------------------- Ad astra per aspera Posts: 108 | From: Tottering-on-the-Brink | Registered: Aug 2015  |  IP: Logged Schroedinger's cat Ship's cool cat # 64 Posted                          And he probably looked better than I did this morning.

Our church is fairly elaborate with this, lighting the Paschal candle, processing down the darkened aisle, and then processing all the altar vessels and vestments up, in order. Members of the congregation do this, and sometimes it is fraught, and Altar Guild members are strategically placed to set the table and arrange the vessels. Today we mysteriously wound up with two palls. Since we need only one, I kept the other in the pew until after the service. -------------------- Science fiction and fantasy writer with a Patreon page Posts: 6378 | From: Washington DC | Registered: Mar 2014  |  IP: Logged St. Gwladys Shipmate # 14504 Posted                        He is risen indeed, Alleluia!
