After the Fact -- Sort Of

Alleluia!! He is risen!!



And we are now into the 50 Days of Easter, as well as the Octave (8 days) of Easter. Every day of this week is considered a major feast of the church. I’ll trust each of you to celebrate most of those days in your own way. We will celebrate as a small but close group on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and as a somewhat larger community next Sunday.
The celebration on Sunday was wonderfully warm, in spite of very unspringlike weather outside.

For those of you who heard me talk about the queen’s Maundy Money (in the Good Friday homily), here’s a link:
