just beautiful :) I'm off to read your previous Easter posts from Italy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post. Happy Easter to you all too.
ReplyDeleteCiao and Bouna Pasqua, My name is Yollie and I live in South Australia. I have found you blog via the comment you left for Mrs Bok of "The Bok Flok" blog. I am so very glad I did (and that you left a comment. I am the first of my family to be born outside of Italy. My family migrated in the 50's from the region of Benevento and I have never been fortunate enough to visit (thus far). I think you have a wonderful blog and will take the time to look at your older entries. Thanks for sharing your experience and take care. Yolanda
ReplyDeleteAn anniversary! Happy, Happy Day to both of you!

Happy Easter, Linda. I enjoyed your informative posting, as usual! I have always loved the idea of Pasquetta.
ReplyDeleteBuona Pasqua greetings from Texas!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you, Lindy!
ReplyDeleteYou are right - very moving.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic, the faces covered, the dragging of the chains, the cross though surrounded my many, is all alone.
And then there is Easter. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Easter Linda to you and all your family. Diane & Nigel

Happy Easter to you and your husband and blessings on your special day too!
ReplyDeleteThank you once more for a beautiful post - every time I see your new header of wisteria it makes me happy. I must tell you that there are new shoots on our supposed dormant little wisteria - I should have remembered about being patient!
Oh I shall be back to watch the video and follow the links. I have a feeling that Italy knows how to celebrate Easter! Thank you for your kind wishes and may you and yours enjoy a blessed Easter.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy Easter! Holy Week in Italy must be a fabulous experience. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and family, dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you as well!
Rich with symbolism that I didn't always understand...the men dragging chains (representing sin?) and obviously willing to endure some pain as evidenced by the bloodies ankles. While Mary's pain was very great indeed, it was not as great as the Savior's. Very interesting. Thank you for reminding me to come watch. I'm glad that I did. I also listened to "Jerusalem," which is a very expressive and powerful song.
ReplyDeletethe bloodied ankles...sometimes I proofread. :D
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a lovely Easter weekend!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a pleasant Easter. Your Easter photos and music are very interesting and makes a person appreciate life. Thank you for the Birthday wishes.
