| The Sanctuary with a miniature empty sepulcher |
Christus Resurrexit, Alleluia! Following the solemn Traditional Latin High Mass at Our Lady of Peace Church in Gowanus, Brooklyn, on Sunday morning, our extended family came together for a customary Easter dinner. The ladies outdid themselves once again with another lavish multi-course meal, culminating with perfectly grilled lamb chops (agnello alla scottadito).
Afterward, we played chess and exchanged our Easter baskets. In addition to colorful eggs and chocolates, my basket included a few interesting books and a large copper coin (Tank) from the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. Buona Pasqua!
