It was wonderful having lunch with Mary Young. She is from South America and has been in the states since she has finished her schooling. She now works as an educational psychologist After dinner she told me that it was the day for Lady Guadeloupe! She said that her church would be adorned with flowers that day. She also said that they would be serving a Spanish dinner after. I told her I would be delighted to go.
Shortly after her invitation, I had many questions to ask her about the Catholic Mass. All the 'facts' I knew about the Catholic Mass came from television, MTV specifically. She laughed at all my questions. I had told her that I loved the windows in the Cathedrals. The only time I've been to a Catholic church was when I had to use the bathroom. She laughed about this as well, but I told her that I remembered the windows. I asked her about some of the reasons for the rituals. It turns out that many of these rituals are based on ancient traditions. I was excited to go to Mass later that night.
