I think back to Maundy Thursday 2015, April 2, when Alice and I were visiting daughter Jenny during her semester abroad in Valencia. We scheduled a road trip to Granada to see the Alhambra<\/a>, and we were in Granada during Semana Santa,<\/a> the Spanish observance of the Christian time called Holy Week<\/a>. Alice and Jenny are the Spain experts in our family, so they knew what was happening, but we were all pretty much overwhelmed by the parade that night.<\/p>\n

Today Alice and I celebrated Palm Sunday by watching the service at St. Stephens Episcopal, our home church. As on every Sunday, it was a lovely service. And as usual, I found I couldn’t sing more than a verse or two of any hymn without a lump in my throat.<\/p>\n
