Where I am staying, we are at the bottom of a large hill. At the top of the hill is a Catholic shrine to Our Lady of the Divine Mercy (Saint Faustina). This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday and there will be literally thousands of "pilgrims" descending upon the town and ascending the hill, many going up and down the hill in, literally, busloads. There will be loudspeakers amplifying the songs and the homilies. It's a crowd scene and the trick is to avoid getting underfoot. Big sigh of relief by Monday when they have all moved on.
