Easter
I'm so bored today. No one's home. My Korean housemate just got back from a Christian Camp, but he's out again. The other two Aussie housemates had gone home to celebrate Easter with their familes, while that annoying Viet guy had amazingly cleaned up his dishes, after that blog that I wrote about him, and flew to Melborne with a friend to buy a laptop... Duh... (so I've heard just yesterday from Henry - the Korean housemate)
Anyway, Easter had been pretty meaningful for me this year. I've made a point to go to Church on Good Friday, though I have no idea which one to go to. There's so many different kinds of Churches here. So I thought that I'd just go to the most promanient one - St. David's Cathedral (Anglican). But what do you know, the buses were extremely late on Public holidays, so I missed the Mass. I told God how sad I was that I didn't managed to accomplish what I've set out to do. Just then, I saw a man carrying a child, walking through the doors of another church - St Joseph's (Catholic - passionist). I followed in and it felt so good. Really, though it was a simple place, but I felt a sense of relieve and that the presence of God was there. I've got a purple sheet, that depicts the death of Christ. A reminder that He cared and that He loves us all. I walked out thanking God for his kindness and for his embrace.
It's amazing how history had changed the practices of various churches. I did abit of search and read, and interstingly, this is what I've found and would like to share with you: Anglican churches basically broke off from the Roman-Catholic Churches because of one man - Henry VIII (England), who wanted to divorce his wife; Catherine of Aragon. So he'd formed another Church under him so that he may do just that. Therefore, Anglican churches (Angles; meaning English) share the dogma and doctrine of the Church of England - the national church of England. The practices are similar to Roman Catholic's except for the law on Divorce and replacement of Pope.
Throughout today, the TV had been showing alot of good biblical documentaries about Jesus, the saints, etc.. I've watched the story about the death of Christ just before I went out to buy groceries and the Ten Commandments just after tea while maginating my chicken for tomorrow.
Heh, yeah... that's my day today. Yawnz* Think I'd better to just hit the sack now...
Happy Easter everyone...
