weekend snapshot #6

Weekend Snapshots #6: as what the author says, ....Everybody loves weekend, it is the time for leisure, recreation and other religious activities. And when everyone is having a grand time, you want to capture it and share it with others.
That’s why Weekend Snapshot is here for you.

For a contemplative monk like me, going out of the monastery happens once in a blue moon only and when it does, routine of works and life inside the monastery changes too.
Ordination and Professions of Vows are big proceedings in a monastery. More or less the images that you will see below will give you some ideas on how a religious community of monks conduct a ceremony in a diaconate ordination.

So folks, here they are, my weekend snapshot #6!...
-------------------->>the monk who's ordained a Deacon

-------------------->>the monks' choir in their recitation of Psalms before the start of the Eucharistic Celebration.



-------------------->>Schola led the congregation in their chant.

-------------------->>monks, young and old alike, sang together at the choir

-------------------->>an elderly monk struggling his way back to their cloister building adjacent to their Abbey church after the celebration.




Happy weekend to everyone...

Those are all good photographs but I particularly liked the last two of the elderly monk walking back to the cloister building. Good weekend snapshots.

I agree with Carver, I like the last two photos. Has a moving quality, very symbolic.
