In between dealing with lost keys, doing laundry, and listening to basketball, I participated in three Easter-related events today (unlike yesterday, a breezy, chilly, gray day): Frankfort Avenue Business Association's Easter parade with several fellow Crescent Hill church members (some pictured) riding in a truck with "He's Alive" spray-painted on a banner alongside it (pictured); Phoenix Hill Neighborhood (my old neighborhood) Association's Easter egg hunt, where young kids got ready to hunt for eggs (pictured) and sit with the Easter bunny (pictured); and a beautiful, quiet one-and-a-half-hour Easter vigil service put together by the dissident, progressive Catholic congregation that worships (with a few Crescent Hill folks) in our sanctuary (usually Sunday night; tonight starting out with a fire out front and with beautiful music, beautiful candles, and limited light) - not quite as long as the equally, but differently breath-taking 3 1/2-hour Easter vigil service that my grad schol friend and I participated in in a West Greenwich Village Roman Catholic church, probably 15 years ago, in Easter 1993.
