Thank you for sharing. I am currently in Portugal on a work exchange. I wanted to visit Fatima and do a tour there earlier this month, but I didn't plan well and missed the opportunity. :(
Interesting insight, thank you for sharing (and thanks for all your other comment-replies - will re-visit those during a break a bit later). Massive candles you light, wow - and a huge fire in the fireplace. I'm used to what we call "tea candles" - they probably are exactly measured to burn for 30 minutes. I was in La Plata a while back, my work host told me the Cathedral there is the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere, and since I had specially done an Española course before going to do this client training, I thought I'd attend a mass in Spanish. It turned out it was in Latin that day, irony is my school Latin (5 yrs and dux prize) was better than my Spanish 🤣😂 I actually checked while typing this msg, he is wrong, Maringá Cathedral (Brazil) is a full 40 ft taller, but latter is an ugly spaceship style architecture while La Plata Cathedral is beautiful, looks like a 90 pipe church organ.
@@nouglyduckling That is amazing, that you elected to take Latin. Why did you choose it, if I may ask? Did you enjoy it? Do you still benefit from the learning techniques it requires? I had a huge argument about it with my dad when I had to choose senior school subjects. He only wanted me to do it so I could study law or medicine, I didn't object to it per se [he, he - had to slip that in], but I wanted to put some other elective as first choice to avoid distasteful other electives I really did not want to do [german, art or music]. I lost that battle with my dad, but ended up avoiding the terrible trio above. Latin was hard work - it took 50% of my homework prep time, but after 2 years it kind of gelled - and the next 3 years were easier. I did such a great senior year project on Vesuvius, wrote lots of it in Lingua Latina - got 99% I think for it - still have that full mini thesis to this day. There's lots more to my Latin Legacy - another chat though.
Happy Eastern to you all!and good luck to Jax!!

Of course! You'll have to come back so you have the opportunity to visit. It is a beautiful, peaceful place. 😍

Haha! That's funny about the Latin mass but congrats on your Latin prowess! I took Latin in high school so I am so impressed! 🤩
