This will be just a brief post for holiday wishes. And memories of Easters spent abroad in the past. Those include 1991 in Martin, Czechoslovakia, where I marked the occasion in the town's main Lutheran church, historically the site of the Meeting of the Slovak Memorandum of 1861. The following year, I took a week to see Berlin and attended a service at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. That modern building was built next to the ruins of the old church of the same name, hollowed out by bombs near the end of WWII and left as a reminder of the horrors of war.
Other Easters abroad include singing in the choir for the Easter Vigil at the Catholic parish in Radvan, part of Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, in 1995, and in the St. Cecilia Choir of St. Elizabeth Cathedral in Košice, SK two years later. That Easter Sunday we sang Handel's "Allelujah Chorus," among other compositions.
