"But I don't understand why we had to keep blessing ourselves!"
"Because you say "Jesus Christ has risen" and then you've got to bless yourself."
"Look, by the time you get out of there, you're holy! How else are you supposed to feel holy? It's not like in his church where it's 'Hello, amen, good-bye' zip bang! you're done- when you get out of there, you're holy, and it lasts!"

*giggle* My mom on the Russian Orthodox church, as opposed to Roman Catholic. One thing about RC is that you don't have to stand up for two hours...but an RO service sounds like fun. They gave out Easter Eggs. St Matthias never gave out Easter Eggs. But St Peter's did a May Crowning, and believe you me that's pretty damn cool. (Who's gonna major in religion when she gets to college? What was that? Who?)
