When the sun rose here in Rome it was 06:28. When it sets at 19:58 it will be two minutes before the setting of the sun behind the Gianicolo, making it somewhat darker at The Parish than it would be on the western side of the hill.
The Ave Maria ought to ring for the Curia at 20:15.
In addition to it being Holy Saturday, it is the Feast of Pope St. Leo IX.

We had quite an exercise yesterday with the Good Friday rites. Stations, the Pre-Sanctified, Tenebrae. It was long and a great deal of Latin was sung. Tonight, all 12 prophecies.
I’m giving less attention to internety stuff today, although I did have to post a piece at the other place.
Here are a few more images. One of you also asked about the contraption that held the candles on the portable ambo we used at Tenebrae. I’ll post those.
Did you hear the one about the Benedictine and Dominican who walked into a sanctuary?
Contraption.
Which shoe is mine?
Loading ...
The boot.
For kicking the modernist devil to the curb.
dollars to donuts the tactical boot belongs to our gracious host Fr. Z.
The buckle shoe looks like it belongs to Captain Hook.
How about both? The boots for being out and about and the buckled shoes for liturgical celebrations.
I’m happy and grateful I was able to attend the liturgies of Holy Week and Easter, which wasn’t a given (recovering from some minor surgery). Most of the liturgy was according to 1955, the blessing of the baptismal water being the exception (pre-1955). A Happy Easter to you all.

Grazie mille, Padre.
