You are a wise man Don.

I won't be able to handle an entire day today. I have to go to services and such. This is Satan's hour.

No, the alter is stripped and the eucharist is moved after services tonight. No music is played during the recession (happens on palm sunday as well). Veneration of the sacrament is held in many churches tonight. I follow the tradition of visiting seven churches. My path will include the traditional north side polish parishes as they have elaborate set ups that are a useful teaching tool for the kids.

Who is this we're talking about now?

We'll be at St Mary of the Angels between 10:00 and 11:00.

Stand on the front stairs yelling "Seacrest where are you." I'll find you that way.

Hmm ... I recall it being slightly different, but then again you're NL and I'm AL (although, technically, you have the DH and we don't ... go figure).

Didn't know about the 7 churches tradition; curious about that, purely for the sake of self-edification, of course.

Good Dolphin is like Kirk Heinrich last night. It was a great performances, but nowadays he brings more bad than good.

I'll just speak English to distinguish myself from the crowd.

Your choice of locations doesn't suprise me.

St. Hyacinth is the one I think is the most visually spiritual

St. John Cansius has the circuses with the "thorns" and such.

Usully don't go that far north.

You can do the seven real quick if you hop off the Eisehower at Racine for an hour, and then hop on and get off the Kennedy at Division and at Armitage.

St John's is a hit or miss. Some years yes, others no. My dad used to take me to St. Hyacinth as a child. He worked about a mile or so from there.

It's humbling to go these places to find the relative weakness of my faith.

Hope Community in St. Charles, 7 PM at the Baker Community Center.

Shout "City of Fools" and I may acknowledge you.

What day does the fairy sprinkle black dust on your forehead?

What day does the fairy sprinkle black dust on your forehead?

That answer is obvious to even the most basic of intelligences: ashes are distributed on Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. The Ashes are produced at the Easter Vigil celebration on the evening of Holy Saturday. The celebration begins outside of the church, where the unused palms from Palm Sunday are lit signifying Jesus as the light of the world and a breaking of the darkness of holy week.
