Easter processions are a mystical experience. My apologies to all those of my friends who believe in God, but I am quite sensitive to the presence of history and looking at these processions I could only see the origins of them. I could see the Roman cornu players, hear their ancient tunes, see the vestal virgins and their eternal fire, the thunder of mighty drums announcing the coming of Iuppiter, carried in a form of a huge statue, and finally another statue, Iuno, protector of Rome, queen of the gods. Most impressive! Many thanks to the catholic church for carrying this almost three thousand year old tradition to us.
