A nice feeling when you get home. Much of this year I lived far from my home, my city. Now, along with Easter holidays, I made a trip to my town. A beautiful Sunday in Bucharest, Romania.
A beautiful Sunday started very early, even at midnight. Orthodox tradition requires attendance at the church service. We crossed the city by night. A short walk in the night, in the center of Bucharest. I like when the old and the new are near. The headquarters of a bank, a building over one hundred years old and behind, the modern building of another bank.
Old
New
The church, in fact a small monastery in the middle of the city, is called Stavropoleus. Three hundred years old. It's my wife's favorite church. It's very small and that's why most people cannot get inside. It was our case that night.
That's how it started this Sunday, always beautiful. In the afternoon I waited for part of the family. We meet every year, it's a tradition we respect.
Always, the youngest of the family is looking for Easter gifts. It is his pleasure and joy to find and our pleasure to hide.
It was a wonderful Sunday and I will tell you how I spent it because of @ace108 and @c0ff33a. They think it's a good idea. Me too. Thanks for their idea.
I am so glad that you are home for the holidays! We have a sort of similar tradition in that we go to sunrise services for Easter. Of course this was last week. It's Christmas time we have the Midnight Mass and I actually love going to church in the middle of the night like that, perhaps because it's different, I'm not sure. The only thing I don't like about it at Christmas time is the incense. For some reason late at night like that oh, it makes me a little nauseous. I'm not sure if that's just me or if that's a common thing. I can burn incense all day long, but maybe it's that empty stomach or something. Anyway I digress.
The church that your wife likes, or the monastery actually, is absolutely incredible and I would love to see some up close and personal details of this church! It is absolutely spectacular and I know that is not the reason that we go to church, but one cannot help but hold their breath and I are at such beautiful architecture. We too, have the traditional egg hunt and fun on Easter and I am so happy to see that you enjoy the Traditions too. Again, I hope that you are having a wonderful day and please wish your entire family happy Easter for me.
And of course, I am so glad that you have a beautiful Sunday!
