re: #253 ggt

I found a picture of my mom as a little girl in the piles of paper I’ve so far sorted.

She was in the ordination mass of a priest from their home town. Man it was a huge deal getting ordained in the way back era. She was the “bridesmaid”?

One little girl is the “bride”?

As I understand it, it is a symbolic representation of the priest marrying the church.

Anyway, it was a HUGE honor for my mom to be chosen.

creepy if you ask me.

Imagine if Muslims had a similar ritual.
