    1. I hope both services went well, Ricky. I do love the thought of celebrating the Resurrection in the Upper Room. :)

    2. They went very well indeed, Perpetua! Both services included a baptism, the first time I've baptised in two different cities on the same day!

  6. Wishing you a perfect Easter Sunday Perpetua. A glance at my watch tells me you are mid-morning right now - probably singing some of the hymns I sang today. Lovely to see the Arena chapel picture - the highlight of our trip to Italy in 2014. I never tire of those Giotto paintings.

    1. Actually, because of visitors I went to church in the evening, Patricia, after a lovely family Easter lunch.
      I remember you posting about your visit to the Arena chapel. Padua is one of the places I would love to visit.

    1. I did indeed, Debra. It was great to have our son and youngest grandson with us.
      I really enjoy looking for appropriate images and music and Giotto is an particular favourite of mine.
