♡ Happy Easter ♡

“Our Easter is therefore for everyone a dying to sin, to passions, to hatred, to enmities, to all that is a source of imbalance, bitterness and torment in the spiritual and material order. This death is in fact only the first step towards a higher goal: since our Easter is also a mystery of life.” — St. John XXIII, 1959

Here in the Southern Hemisphere Easter marks the coming of cold autumn mornings and winter fast approaching. There is still some warmth in the sun, but the fires are lit in the village houses, and the air has that wonderful smell of wood smoke.

Recap of (catholic)Easter Vigil mass 2026:

0.5 me and mother doing speeling bee, strends and worlde before mass started #priorities

Main priest's voice breaking during on of the first chants

An introductory part was sang by the deacon: very nice voice and nicely sung, but long af

Timeline of the mass was messed up because main priest forgot to recite one of the prayers between first and second scripture leaving all of us (and the church grandmas!) confused for a second

Altar kids breaking the chocolate easter egg in front of everyone, the chocolate was the offered to all of us

Homily was fine, a wee bit confusing some parts, but it was overall nice and good

I'm not exactly a practising christian, but god i love me some amazing organ + choir music

When asking saints for intercession (which is done singing, btw) me and my mother almost burst out laughing with the name of some of the saints

shout out to my guys saints Atanasio, Basilio, Ignazio di Antiochia, Cirillo and Metodio

Highlights was the kid with shoes with lights and the Winnie the Pooh plushie

Neapolitan pastiera is an Easter dessert made with cooked wheat, eggs, ricotta cheese, and flavoured with  flower water (Mille fiori aroma). It is usually eaten at Easter and according to tradition, every family in Naples prepares one during the Holy Week. The recipe for this “cake” probably derives from the breads made from milk and honey that were commonly eaten during the baptism ceremonies the night of Easter when Constatine was Emperor. The modern version of this dessert was invented at the convent of San Gregorio Armeno (located in Naples historic center). A nun decided to make a cake using the ingredients that symbolized life and the resurrection.
