Our son, the monk, called on the Saturday before Easter. (That\u2019s not him in the picture, but one of the other monks at the Hermitage.) I asked Allen when they would celebrate Easter, or as the Orthodox call it, Pascha. April twenty-seventh, he told me. And then there was a pause. \u201cI wish you could be here and see how we do it. I tell you, Mom, you Protestants are missing out, not paying attention to Lent and Holy Week.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s probably right. We descendants of northern European Protestants approach Easter in the buttoned up traditions of our ancestors. No need to get carried away, don\u2019t ya know? Somebody might be watchin\u2019 you go a little crazy about God bein\u2019 raised from the dead, and then where would ya be?<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the northern European buttoned up blood was pretty thin by the time it got to our son. He\u2019s always been, to put it mildly, a flamboyant dresser. In fourth grade, he had me make him a tunic and robe for Halloween. He was King David, a perennial costume favorite for ten-year-old, Christian white boys in Iowa. When he left for the monastery his assurance to his grandmother was, \u201cI\u2019ll wear a robe every day, Grandma. You know how much I like to dress up.\u201d So I\u2019m not surprised that our son loves the pageantry and processions, the robes and the rhinestones that are part of the faith tradition he has chosen.<\/p>\n

Still, I\u2019ve been thinking about what he said. We Protestants don\u2019t pay much attention to Lent and Holy Week. Perhaps that\u2019s why our holiday is more about the Easter bunny than the celebration of the empty tomb. I\u2019ll be mulling that over a while. And if I think it\u2019s true, I may volunteer to spearhead Lenten and Holy Week observances at our church next year.<\/p>\n

If you go to my church and you\u2019re reading this, don\u2019t start hyperventilating yet. I\u2019ll try not to get too crazy, don\u2019t ya know? Though come to think of it, the King David costume is in a box in the attic somewhere. Let me know if you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
