I know it is (Orthodox) Good Friday. I know it is a mournful day of lament for Christ's crucifixion and hope for his resurrection. I enjoyed the parade of litany with the candles and the gothic singing that passed right in front of our apartment.
But for the love of all that is good and holy, do all three churches in the general vicinity of my apartment building have to ring their bells one by one ALL DAY LONG?!?

Well apparently the answer to your question is:
Yes they do!
:-)
Oh my. At le3ast it's for one day. Unless of course there's joyous all-day bell ringing on Sunday. Are you going to roast a whole lamb in the backyard?
You really had me confuse there Mel. My father-in-law is in the hospital, so we are all a little sleep deprived. I kept thinking "but I thought Good Friday was LAST week". It took a few confusing minutes before I realzied that you said Orthodox. Phew! I thought I was really starting to lose it (if I ever HAD it)!
I think I had better take a nap before my head explodes along with yours!

i agree with ellasdevil:)
Lol, well, by the end of the day *I* wanted to kill myself!
Thankfully Susan we didn't have joyous bell-ringing all day Sunday, just at midnight. And no roast lamb in the backyard, it was roast goat in the oven and fireplace.
Cynthia, sorry to confuse you! Although the whole Orthodox Easter thing DOES confuse me. Every once in awhile it shares a date, but when they are like a month apart, it is really weird.
