Church

On Sunday we went to the Catholic church. It was a cathedral and a Bishop and three priests were concelebrating Mass. The church was very echoey so Mary had a hard interpreting. However, the liturgy was the same format so we could still follow along. The singing was beautiful. Some of the tunes were even the same. Mary could understand the song numbers so we were able to follow along in the hymn book. 

Incense was used and during communion pattens were used. Communion was only in one form. At the end of Mass, the litany of the saints was said. 

This afternoon, we went to Maksim's church. Mary was able to interpret some of that, the text was Acts 27. After the sermon and discussion, we talked and ate chocolates. Little Dasha was at church. Mary decided to not eat a chocolate right away. Oh dear! Dasha and her friend sat and ate them all, one after another.
