So the past few days I haven't had class because of Holy Week. Last night I went to a procession called the Procession of Sepulcro. I went to the center with my uncle and his friend to see it. We watched, all in total silence, as several displays were carried by. A clear casket holding Jesus after he had been taken off of the cross and several other figures. It was kind of surreal because usually the streets are so busy and loud and there are so many cars and busy people, but for a couple hours there were no cars, no noise, just everyone standing on the sidewalks in silence watching the procession. When the procession reached the actual center, lights came up on the Cathedral and there and there was a chorus singing several songs specific to the Procession. It was nice.
Thursday and Friday we weren't allowed to eat meat. Disappointing. I was hoping that today we would have a nice meaty dish but I guess we are just going to have soup. .. :-/
Less than two months till Ally comes!
