Bouna Pasqua

Bouna Pasqua, Selamat Pasca, Fu Huo Jie Kuai Le... the pope did it in 60 languages this year...

Easter Greetings indeed...

I touched down in Dublin this morning, exhausted from my pilgrimage to the Eternal City for the Holy Triduum this past week.

Here are the pictures of the cover of the booklets distributed for the Papal Liturgies and the tickets that got me into them:

Chrism Mass, Holy Thursday
St. Peter's Basilica

Mass of the Lord's Supper, Holy Thursday
Basilica of St. John Lateran

Service of the Lord's Passion, Good Friday
St. Peter's Basilica

Way of the Cross, Good Friday
Colosseum

Easter Vigil Mass, Holy Saturday
St. Peter's Basilica

Easter Sunday Mass & Urbi et Orbi Blessing
St. Peter's Square
That's it for now, I will be uploading 4 other posts in the near future.

p.s. If anyone wonders why Jesus and the other character's on the cover of the Via Crucis booklet looks Chinese, it's because the meditations this year was written by Cardinal Joseph Zen, the Archbishop of Hong Kong.

Was just wondering, how did you make sense of the masses?

Zen is bishop of Hong Kong. The Vatican Publishing house does great work. Any typos, I wonder?

Anyway, even though they look Chinese, the form is traditional, as opposed to the modernist crap we get here.
