How's Easter in Seoul?

Dawn Easter Service at 5:00 A.M. it's our second round here in Seoul. No doubt the sermon was fiery and the Choir anthem was okay and after the service a cup of ginger tea and boiled egg. Later at 9:00 A.M. I attended the high school youth service where at a segment of the youth population of the church is a bit expressive in comparison to the the adult congregation.

If I were in the Philippines, much could be said about and experience on Easter Sunday. Preparations were made way ahead for the liturgical movement from Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday. I can recall the mood settings vary from the Thursday which is more reflective--the betrayal, the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, arrest and trial. Then Good Friday--the conviction, crucifixion and death--it is mourning and contrition. Saturday is mourning still. Sunday is triumphant--although ironic Filipinos make Easter very celebrative. Easter Sunday is a fiesta or Pascua.
