Happy Easter everyone
I didn’t sleep at all last night as I’m still suffering the absolute worst jet-lag ever. Because of that I found myself walking down toward St. Mary’s Cathedral early (reeaaaaaally early!) this morning to catch the 7am Easter mass. I arrived there around 6:20am and found that the front of the cathedral had a temporary doorway placed in front of it with two signs (one on each side) pointing to a non-functional door: Cathedral Entry.
And so I walked around the side and saw two Asian women sitting on the steps in front of one of the side doors.
Also locked.
I have to say I was confused. After all, it is Easter we’re talking about here. Wouldn’t the appropriate thing to have the Church doors be opened sometimes during the night with no witnesses around?
Anyhow, after about 10 minutes of sitting on the steps leading toward this side-door that was also locked I told the two ladies that I was going to have another walk around to check what’s going on. I tried another side-door and it was locked. The temporary doorway was still sealed shut. However, when I returned to the side-door where I had waited for awhile I found that it was now open and the two ladies gone!
Well now, wasn’t that more appropriate? Solid, strong object blocking entry to an enclosed space moved by an unseen force to allow passage.
Now that’s an Easter experience!
Anyhow, I’m back from Africa and currently working through my pictures. After I finish that I’ll be going through my journal notes and write-up a few things and post them here.
Happy Easter!
