I don't think any altar boys here ever said anything out loud - ever, although a friend of mine fainted regularly whenever there was incense involved. I'm glad there was a little chocolate for you :) I wonder if mass in Ireland would be so much different than it is here even now...?<br /><br />Lamb is delicious, but maybe you need a good sauce for yours? <br /><br />All those Blessings back at you, friend!Rebecca S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16409572371302109142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-50069162813009192492012-04-07T22:04:41.747-07:002012-04-07T22:04:41.747-07:00Happy Easter to you and yours Rebecca!
Nice post,...Happy Easter to you and yours Rebecca!<br /><br />Nice post, I fely I'd been there with you for all those years of bread making.<br /><br />And isn't slathered a brilliant word to describe that generosity of spreading.........Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133586152925723487.post-20047287875554573562012-04-07T20:56:33.490-07:002012-04-07T20:56:33.490-07:00Right back at you.
I don't have many memories...Right back at you.<br /><br />I don't have many memories of the Sunday. But for the longest time I was a bedecked in soutane/cassock and surplice. This meant learning a whole new set of responses and actions. The former being important for the Easter call and answer are only for Easter. So you as attendants lead the answer, meaning you had to say it loud enough for the entire congregation to hear and learn it. You prayed you'd get the job of cross carrier not the thurible. Frankly, it does nothing to aid religious contemplation in the alter-boy when his mental conversation is liberally peppered with a litany directed at a lump of charcoal. <br />Stress is the abiding memory, then nothing for the chocolate would have shut down all faculties. <br />I slow cooked a leg of lamb yesterday. A bit flavourless if I calling it. But one could draw it apart with a spoon. I prefer cold lamb to hot.<br /><br />+ May the Blessings of Almighty God be on you and yours this Resurrection Day. In the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. +Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09442327549417743472noreply@blogger.com
