This morning was part of a procession to celebrate the 750th anniversary of a miracle that occurred in Bolsena. This miracle was the one which led to the cathedral of Orvieto's construction (documented elsewhere here, so I'm not going to repeat myself), and for whatever reason they brought the relic to Todi -- at a Mass held at Consolazione.
Florence and I sang, Jeremy served, and the rest of the family took up space on the pew...
The fun (and slightly irritating) part was that it was actually televised on Rete 4! I tried to find a link for you to see if you could stream it, but didn't have any luck coming up with it. The annoying part was that we couldn't sing some of my favorites because we were running long...sigh...and the cameramen directed us not to. The pain of being celebrities!
After Mass, we drove to Orvieto (it's a GORGEOUS) day here, and my parents treated us to another amazing lunch at Zeppelin! Unsurprisingly, a nap's sounding pretty good at the moment (picture a lion 30 minutes after the kill, and you'll get the idea), but the weather's too pretty not to enjoy.
And no pictures -- sorry -- my camera was (for a rarity) on the coffee table instead of my purse. I'll try to get some photos in the next day or two so you can enjoy the scenery, too.
Love,
Alexandra
