Easter Sunday

We had really been looking forward to celebrating Easter in Ireland! After a great breakfast at our B&B courtesy of our wonderful host Anne, we headed off to the parish in Doolin. They offer one Sunday mass--so different then the American church. Our parish offers 4 on Sunday and 2 vigils on Saturday--but the population is so much smaller in Ireland, that 1 per parish per Sunday serves the entire community that wishes to worship. Getting a look into the Irish Catholic Church was fun. It was a happy Mass and at the end, the priest called up all the children and gave them all gifts of Easter candy.

This was taken in the drive-way of our B&B, so you can appreciate how beautiful our view was!
