I used to love those. jmb, yes, some outsiders find these ceremonies very strange. I think you just have to embrace them and look at them from the Italian standpoint. I don't want them to change either. Thanks, Gracchi. Hope you had a good Easter, too. I'm not religious either but I wish I was. Ruthie, perhaps you will come and see it one day. Hi, Steve. Yes, Monday a holiday here too but Good Friday, surprisingly, isn't. Thanks, Ellee and Liz. Yes, I had a lovely time. You didn't dream that you commented, Liz. As you know by now, the internet socket fell off the wall!

If one can find joy within one's self...with what ever way, which ever way, one sees, faces one's personal religion...belief...the world would be a far better place.<BR/><BR/>I was raised, going to Sunday School every Sunday morning....I have my belief which I hold close to myself...religion, in the way I see it...feel it...is a very personal thing. Unfortunately, religion is used...and has been since the world began as a tool...a tool of destruction. Religion, in its truth and honest, was never meant to be used in this manner. "Man" is guilty of creating a monster from what should always be held as holy.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what I have tried to say makes any sense to others...but it does to me...somehow. We all believe in God...God may have different faces...but boil it down...it is all the same. The unfortunate part is humans fail to realise that.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.com
