But it is hard when you are still growing.

I think I would like to try one day :)dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-36882142561009036362016-03-26T08:35:06.310-04:002016-03-26T08:35:06.310-04:00When I was growing up, we only had no meat on Frid...When I was growing up, we only had no meat on Fridays, but did not pay any attention to the other fasting rules, in fact, I was not even aware of them. Nobody talked about them. This is different in this country. I did once fast the whole day, when I was 19 and only drank water. That was hard! <br /><br />I always kind of joke that Peter has become more Catholic than Lutheran and I do think that the rich Catholic symbolism does touch him on a different level than the more intellectual church service from his tradition. He has also gotten to appreciate the culture in German speaking countries, so that helps.

I do miss Peter, but we talk daily so it is not so bad. <br /><br />I did write a post on your present <br /><a href="http://untroddenpaths.blogspot.com/2016/03/robinrotkehlchen.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and I think I also commented that on your blog about it, but I don't recall when anymore (I would have to go and check). I even took the bag to German class with me when I encouraged my students to use more reusable bags instead of plastic bags as one of their Lenten tasks. They thought the bag was really neat.

We did not manage our church service but we did watch and pray through the stations of the cross on EWTN. <br /><br />We had a hot cross bun for breakfast, two pieces of toast for lunch and fisherman's pie for tea. I managed to catch up on some laundry and cleaning. It must be strange with Peter being away.<br /><br />Did my card and present to you arrive? I sent it on the 7th March.<br /><br />San xx Sandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-16137347236719650272016-03-26T00:11:56.747-04:002016-03-26T00:11:56.747-04:00thanks for explaining how the fast works. it's...thanks for explaining how the fast works. it's always been our tradition not to have meat on good friday also. <br /><br />it's good you can skype with peter. i can imagine how all of you must miss him. and it's nice he's experiencing a catholic easter in such an historic and reverent setting. and as a lutheran i do see the humor in that :) i like the catholic traditions you share. they're very deep and colorful. dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-31455521153240141042016-03-25T23:24:43.073-04:002016-03-25T23:24:43.073-04:00We got the German colors from Nova.

You can eat one meatless meal and two smaller meals that are not allowed to be bigger together than your main meal. So you get to eat three times a day, but are not allowed to have snacks and two meals are quite small. That is only for people between 18 and 59. Once you are 14, you have to abstain from meat on Good Friday, but you are still allowed to have snacks. You can eat normally again on Saturday morning. So it is not so bad.

When do you break the fast? The Star of Bethlehem looks very interesting. How nice to watch it together :) xoxo (And I'm sure the Pascha will be delicious!)dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.com
