Easter Day!

It's Easter Time! Time flows really fast. Lent was just like yesterday. 5 weeks of lent.. 1 week of passion sunday..
went to cathedral for holy thursday and good friday. it was really soothing being there. hearing the choir singing was just.. amazing. never really paid attention to these days back there in Jakarta. but here, it's different. i found peace and tranquil.. prayer, music, God.. it all blended to one..
went to st mary's for the easter vigil mass.. it was a truly amazing experience. not that i've never been there... not that the choir was better.. simply because there were 110 people waiting to be baptized. it was so beautiful. they were baptized, and when they came back, they're wearing white robes..

"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow..."

they lit their candles, the lights were dimmed. it was such a breath-taking scene. they might feel anxious about the baptism. not to mention the muddy-colored water used... and even the cold church. but then, they're there.. rejoicing the same God I worshipped.

"..and you, tiny candles of the world.. are you able to shine the world when the sun is tired? are you able to give warmth to your surroundings?"


and so, the easter comes.. all christians across the world rejoices for the rise of Christ. May God bless us, and remind us of the beauty of the earth he created...

I know the picture is very blur.. but, that's the best i can take with my handphone.. haha. still, i find it beautiful...
