Palm Sunday

wiseheart... is to remind us that things don't end on Good Friday - that there's resurrection and that death loses against Life in the end. Or so I still believe, even though I'm no longer a church goer. Back when I still was, the rituals around Easter had always the deepest meaning for me; and the ones in the convent were particularly wonderful.
So, in that spirit I offer you a hymn of Palm Sunday as sung by the Schola Hungarica Gregorian choir. They happened to practice (and sing) in the parish church of my youth and we even got to sing with them on occasion - before they'd become a cultural phenomenon, that is.
I took out my traditional Easter decoration - well, the part of it I could reach easily. Because of Mum's situation, some part of the flat are barricaded with pieces of furniture that would present a hindrance for her, so I had to compromise.
For those relatively new to my journal, these are my hand-painted eggs, made 30+ years ago:
The picture is a few years old but the decoration looks fairly similar this year, too. Only the chocolate bunnies are different. *g*
Wishing you all blessed days before Easter.
