Subject: RE: BS: What'd you do for Easter?
Thanks for the moose photo, Raptor.

Here at our house we had what i call National Catholic Week. Church Thursday night, church Friday night, church Saturday night, church Sunday morning. In addition to singing in the choir we did volunteer things.

Our church is a traditional-style building built in 1933. The ceiling is 55-feet above the floor. My dear husband (the DH) and a friend of mine have the task of going into the space between the ceiling and the tile roof and lowering swathes of diaphanous fabric through openings in the ceiling. They have to wear safety harnesses to do this, and they communicate with people below using walkie-talkies. The people below catch the fabric and attach it to the pilasters to make long misty arcs.

Why do it, really? Well, I guess it doesn't cost much money and it makes our church our own.
