Camino de Santiago de Compostela

[Arn]

At sundown this evening, the Easter Vigil will mark the most important day on the Church's calendar. The solemn vigil of Easter has as its principal symbol the paschal candle: The Resurrection of Christ is the light that dispels the darkness of sin and death.

[Tia Valeria]

We love the Service of Light and Easter Vigil but our local church here does not have this service. We have to wait until the 10.30 service tomorrow.

A trifle early from here in the UK:-
Alleluia, Christ is Risen
He is risen indeed, Alleluia.

A very happy and blessed Easter to you Arn, and others on the Forum.
Tio Tel and Tia Valeria

We have that service in Sahagun. It is the fifth day in a row for church services, some of those twice in one day.
This one starts late, and goes on for THREE AND A HALF HOURS!!
Seeing as the last week has been spent partying, visiting the cousins and granny, and carrying heavy pasos through the streets on their shoulders while balancing a cone-hat on their heads, many locals give this part of the holiday a miss.

For me, tomorrow is the biggie! Nothing like a good resurrection after all that blood, sweat, and tears!

For Christians everywhere, the words of St. Augustine of Hippo are appropriate;-

"We are an Easter people, and Alleluia is our song!"

A happy and blessed Easter to you all!

Wishing that "God comes all sweetness to your Lenten lips" to all those who kept fast to their lenten fast.
