Sunrise Service was just concluding yesterday morning when the sun broke above the trees and flooded we few, we happy few, who braved the wind, with a most heavenly light. The Right Reverend officiating had his back to it and said he nearly lost his train of thought when the light illuminated us all. Not a bad way to celebrate Easter, wot?
I was beginning to think that like the Orthodox, you guys picked a different day :) But thanks for the sentiment and an early Happy Rez day to you too!
I'm sure you had other things on your little pea brain, LSP. I don't know how our priests make it through Holy Week without dropping in their tracks. Easter vigil (pre-1955 rites) alone takes about 4-5 hours. And, goodness, all that chanting.
Happy Easter, LSP. You're an inspiration and a God send!
Presumably, Parson, you were otherwise occupied.

That sounds perfect, WWW.
DeleteAlways good to be reminded -- how many have already moved on from yesterday versus carrying the New Covenant forward? Acts does follow the Gospels.
