Easter Celebration

I came back from an Easter celebration a couple of hours ago. It took for two hours but I thought it was long. It was in a catholic Monastery. It was the first time I saw a ceremony like this.

I like the readings though. Specially those which were stories about Moses. They were quite similar to those in Quran.

The good part was to see Christianity from a very close distance; more like the consumer, as it has been my position to Islam. That would give more insight to compare the two.

What I was thinking would be interesting is to compare all these religions and see their positive points, their emphasis and their nature and feel. I though that would be a nice study ....

I watched Alejandro Amenabar's "The Sea Inside" (Mar adentro). It was a very strong picture. Javier Bardem's acting was perfect, I should say. I watched the movie in a dark room and it did leave me with a very heavy weight of sadness in my heart.
