Pascha pics
I realized I never posted any pictures from Pascha. We didn't end up with many good ones, but here are a few.
Here are the girls dressed in their Pascha white dresses for the midnight service. Last year, the priest at our church in San Antonio talked about the ancient church tradition of wearing your baptismal clothes or, if they don't fit anymore, all white to the Pascha service. He encouraged us all to revive this tradition. I'm doing my best as I love the symbolism of it. I was wearing all white too, but I'm not posting a picture of me.
These next two were just cute.
We had a traditional family Pascha basket to be blessed for the service too, with bread and cheese and meat and butter, etc, but the girls also got Easter baskets. This pic is the girls with their baskets after they woke up Sunday "morning" (It was almost noon actually). They all three look totally stoned in this picture and I laugh outloud everytime I look at it.
