Cathedral of St. John the Baptist-Savannah, GA






























On Easter Sunday, DH and I attended Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, Ga.  The announcement at the beginning of the service, indicating that photos without a flash would be allowed surprised me, but, luckily, I had my camera with me (like any other serious blogger).  I took some photos that I would not have dared to take otherwise.  For those who are unfamiliar with Roman Catholicism, the top photo records the consecration of the wine which is a sacred and holy part of the Mass. The bottom photo was taken at one of the side altars, which would have been perfect for Good Friday.

Despite the massive building, the service on Easter Sunday felt quite intimate because of the southern hospitality and welcoming nature of the parishioners and the priest, who suggested that we continue to celebrate the season by doing something nice for ourselves and others on every day this coming week which is still "Easter Week."
