NYC EXILE – DAY 4: Of Sung Mass and Sunshine

It was another picture perfect day.

Before heading to Mass today I made sure to have a brief stroll in the park.

After Mass, eggs… Benedict, of course.

After Sung Vespers, several of us went to China Town (which is taking over Little Italy).  Our trek included a visit to Precious Blood, the National Shrine of San Genaro.

San Rocco.

There is a great presepio in the church.


  

It’s not often you see statues of Sts. Cosmos and Damian.

They are marvelously… what’s the word… kitschy?

We had a nice walk in the park.  The men were on one side, playing Chinese Chess, the woman on the other, playing cards.  There were a couple live combos playing folk music.  The trees are blooming.

Hand pulled noodles sounded like a good idea.



Afterwards, toast with condensed milk and tea.


Buns.

A sweet end to a sweet day.  Several of us went and had a glass of Chartreuse afterwards, which is a celebratory stable among the Holy Innocents crowd.

Meanwhile, on Monday there will be at Holy Innocents at least a Missa Cantata if not a full Solemn Mass for the Feast of St. Mark.

Monday, April 25at 6:00 PM for Feast of St. Mark
