Pilgrims Log

Below is a video of our Blessing of the Fire on Easter Saturday at the Vigil Mass. I wil be psting more pics form this mass in the coming days.

This is our Easter basket just after its been blessed. Its a Polish tradition to have a small (or sometimes rather large) selection of food blessed on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. Ours included the traditional eggs (for new life), salt (protection agianst corruption) bread (life again), smoked sausage (well, its always in there but i don’t think it really has any symbolism, and butter (kind of like oils, again, protection form corruption). Tomorrow we will share the eggs between our family and eat the rest of the food. Mmmm…writing this post is making me way too hungry…can’t wait till tomorrow!

Happy Easter !
