Greetings, Everyone!
Well, it's official!
I'm now officially a part of the Catholic Church.![]()

Last night's ceremony was the most beuatiful thing I have ever seen in church, and it was an amazing honor to be a part of it.
First there was the lighting of the Easter flame in the repository of the church. Then there was 3 readings by the flame's light. After that, everyone proceeded into the main part of the church in complete darkness, and began to sing the Gloria hymn, during which the lights were turned on. That part was so beautiful and symbolic. After that, there 2 members of my RCIA group were baptized, and then we were all Confirmed together and then recieved Communion. There was so much beauty to the whole ceremony that it's really hard to find the right words to even begin to describe it.
So instead, here are some pics that my mom took during the evening.

I know these are small, the originals I have are MUCH better.![]()
On a parting note, let me first say that I hope everyone's Easter is very happy and blessed, and please enjoy the pictures, especially the one below, of my saint, Mary Magdalene, and enjoy the SONG I picked out for this day.
