For me, it's the music. Sacred music stands as a bastion against the cold banality of spiritually devoid 'Order'.

Thank you for sharing the depth of communal health.

Absolutely gorgeous ceremony and music.

Don't want to be a downer but yesterday I met my friend outside of her church in lower Manhattan. We were walking on the periphery of Battery Park and suddenly I was thrown onto the ground. Two Latin American migrants were fighting and had crashed into me. I wasn't hurt (only a slightly scraped knee) but the fight continued and another broke out. There were migrant children underfoot. Then a migrant woman attacked another with a baby on her back and overturned the cart of cut fruit and snacks she was selling.

Not sure but it appeared to be a pathetic turf war to control the sales spot. God help New York City. They brought in so many desperate people and just let them loose on the streets.

I also just saw that Pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested in Saint Patricks Cathedral for disturbing the Easter service.
