Ceremony

Fra's uncle Mario is a priest. When 25 years had passed since he became one, we celebrated him. This was last Sunday. If someone tells you, that you have to sit in a catholic church for a few hours to celebrate a 25 year anniversary of a priest, you probably think "*sigh* how boring!". I was at least prepared to entertain myself by making holiday plans and shopping lists in my mind.

I was so wrong.

The party was groovy :) Mario made the whole ceremony to a nice and tight family feast, even though we were probably a few hundred in the church celebrating him. How he did it? No idea, he is just so amazing.

He got gifts and the other priests kept speeches for him and all kinds of pictures were taking by the altar. And the speeches were not any kind of lectures about sins, oh no, they were more like bestman-having-a-speech-about-the-groom's-embarrasing-but-cute-youth kind of speeches. And Mario's thank you-speech was the best one. He got the whole church to laugh.

And afterwards we ate and drunk. How often do you get to sit behind the church by long tables with priests and get served a 3 course lunch? It was all very cute.
