Et resurrexit tertia diae

[wiseheart]

Back when I was in the convent, this was the night we had the resurrection procession. One of the old sisters knew how to make fire the old-fashioned way (without matches, that is; I forgot what the things she used are called), and we lit candles and walked around the convent buildings in the deepest night. It was such an otherworldy experience. These are the times when I still miss the convent.

And this makes me feel terribly nostalgic, too. *sigh*

Very cool. We do the fire thing, but bring it inside the church, and all light candles while we do the first part of the service.

That must be beautiful, too.

In English they are either called a Firestarter or just flint & steel.
People who are welders use one that looks similar to a giant diaper pin 🧷 that you squeeze the sides & it strikes a spark.
The other is what the Boy Scouts have used for decades. It usually comes on a keychain.

Taizé is special. Very special. Even in these times.

Sounds magical!

It really is.

I always love services that are held at night. There's something so focusing about worshiping in the dark.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I completely agree.
