Lighting the Festive Flame

 I was expecting a mass to be held in the church, so I was surprised to find that the service basically explained the history of the event interspersed with songs by the choir and then had a lot of announcements about what was going to happen in the next week. After that, everyone went outside to watch the lighting of a flame on the roof. A young man in a volleyball uniform ran up the stairs to do so.


The moment we were all waiting for.
During this festival many Christian homes in Ankawa put electric crosses on their roofs. It's very festive.
