kidding around

The past 5 days have been full in anticipating Pascha. We are all a little bleary-eyed, but content and joyful. The above image is the procession right before Midnight on Saturday night. The whole congregation walk around the church with candles, icons, and banners. Everyone is full of excitement.

Our small family are Orthodox Christians and nothing compares to our time we spent together.

We left home Saturday night at 10pm, with all the kids in tow…making sure our Pascha basket was full of cheese, chocolate, beer, sweets for the kids, and homemade bread. We came home at 4am hearing the birds singing and tired… happy to crawl into bed. You would think the kids would sleep past 10, right? Nope, Penny and Simon were up at 8 ready to go!

These are just a few of the images we took during Holy Week. I’d like to share more, but they are all divided amongst the many cameras we had with us…including video footage. You get the idea.

Happy Monday everyone. And a Joyful Pascha to all my Orthodox friends.
