A Good Easter Moment
Monday, May 10, 2010 at 01:46PM As Catholics, Mike and I have always attended the services in the Holy Week leading up to Easter Sunday. This year, we were in Jordan. “Any chance we can attend a service in a Catholic church on Thursday or Friday?” I asked Wael, our tour guide. “Friday, we’ll be in the ruins of Petra. No church there. But Thursday, yes, it’s possible. I will take you to the Catholic church in Kerak.” Thursday evening, Wael took us to the 6 p.m. Catholic service in Kerak. To my surprise, the car stopped in front of a big white building with several onion-shaped domes, each topped with a cross, which reminded me of Orthodox churches.
