25/24th DEC, The Midnight Mass (aka. The 2nd Great Wall Of Pictures)

In the bus, on the way to church.

(From inside the bus) These thermometers are very convenient.

Entering the church.....

... where I accidentally got myself recruited as a choir member.
The 2 words on top are Russian and are pronounced as
'razhdistva khristova' I think, stresses on words, go figure.
The words below it are in latin, 'adeste fideles' im too lazy
to translate them.

The priest.

A nice effect.

Our student representative doing a reading in English.
Ps. there is a cameraman to the left.

Pianist.

Before midnight.

After midnight. Please note that no matter how many times
I took the pictures, they keep shining. Hmmm.....
it gets you thinking, doesn't it.

See, still shining. Hmmm.....


And after the church service, there was the Christmas party, not related
to the previous one.

FOODS GALORE! THE HORN OF PLENTY IS BEING GIVEN OUT.

There is a tradition here that we are given a piece of this bread???
and another person takes a small piece of it and wishes anything
for you and vice versa.

Oooh, the first time I have actually seen them.

Let's see... yup, still glowing.
