Anyway, it was a meaningful service, but it was a 6 hour commitment, and I am glad to be home.

I’m sure you are.

I am not required for any Easter Vigil services tomorrow. Those tend to run long, too.

Our service was little more than an hour. It was stripped down from previous years. One year we did the strips of paper and tossed them into the fire. It was very effective.

Do you think that's subtle enough?

What are the odds of taking that shot just at that moment?

I am losing steam.

Have you ever lost steam?

singdaw · « **Reply #161 on:** April 07, 2023, 08:00:05 PM »

It can be very tricky to find again.

singdaw · « **Reply #162 on:** April 07, 2023, 08:00:15 PM »

It's very good at hiding itself.

I made it two hours. Had to take a break.

Good night, friends.

Time to make the brownies.

I have less than 30 minutes left in Babylon and I don't care.

It's a fascinating failure. I wish I were watching Day of the Locust instead.

The whole segment with Tobey Maguire was unnecessary.

Our Good Friday Tennenbrae service lasted about 45 minutes. I read the New Testament parts of the Passion of Christ.

As we got through each section there was a darkening until kneeled in total darkness ( except for whatever light came through the windows ).

The Pastor slammed the ( hidden from view due to the altar screen) back door to symbolize the sealing of the tomb and then there was a duet of the hymn ‘Were You There”

Then s few dim lights were brought up and the congregation departed in silence.

It’s always an emotional service

After the congregation cleared out a handful of us stripped out all the Good Friday stuff and reset for Easter Day

It could be a fake (which I really hope that it's not), or it's from a combined "burst" photo where a whole bunch of pictures are taken with one push of the button, or it's one frame from an actual video recording.

George · « **Reply #178 on:** April 07, 2023, 09:46:36 PM »

Regardless of how it happened, it's a great image.
