04/19/14 - NNHS Newsletter - Holy Saturday |
||
“I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old. He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.” - Lamentations 3: 1-9 (KJV) |
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
We've never
actually celebrated this day here before...

From
http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/holy-saturday:
Many Christians in the United States observe Holy Saturday, which falls between Good
Friday and Easter
Sunday.
It commemorates the day when Jesus Christ lay in the tomb after his death,
according to the Christian bible. It is also known as Easter Eve and is the last
day of Lent.
Many Christians in the United States attend an Easter vigil service on Holy
Saturday. They remember Holy Saturday as the day when Jesus lay in his tomb. An
Easter candle is lit in some homes, particularly among families who cannot
attend the Easter vigil services. Easter vigil prayers are also made on this
day. Baptisms are held during some church services on Holy Saturday.
Many American families prepare for Easter Sunday celebrations on the Saturday
before Easter. Children decorate eggs with paint, crayon, water colors, stickers
and other material. These eggs are often placed in Easter baskets. Some people
buy chocolate eggs to eat around this time of the year. Many people of Mexican
descent who live in Los Angeles in California celebrate Holy Saturday with a
colorful ceremony known as the Blessing of the Animals.
...Congregation
members are sprinkled with blessed water in some churches in the United States.
This blessed water symbolizes purification and baptism. Candles that are used
for Easter vigil services represent the light of Jesus Christ, and that he
brings light into darkness.

From Lucy Southall Propst ('63) of VA - 04/18/14 - "Love
My School":
I just want to keep in touch with
y'all. Keep me on the '63 list. My mother, ![]() ![]() Lucy Southall Propst, Williamsburg, VA
Thank you, Lucy;
it's great to hear from you again!
You haven't fallen off my list. It's simply that as of the first of April I have not been able to easily communicate with anyone, thanks to a new anti-spam device adopted by my servers. Whenever I attempt to initiate an email conversation, I am "rewarded" with this message: "Message rejected due to DMARC." If I send
a mailing to 450 people simultaneously, I am met with 450
INDIVIDUAL responses to that effect!
Needless to say, this has been extremely disheartening. In fact, if I were to be completely truthful, I'd have to say that it really took the wind out of my sails when I was already having a difficult and stressful time with other concerns of life. I am seeking solutions for this problem now. I think if someone emails me, I can respond to them and it will make it through, but I'm not even certain of that. I was so
sorry to hear of your mama's passing. You and Mary Frances have my very
deepest sympathies.
I made and posted her Memorial Newsletter right away on the Newsletter page, but even though it was available, the announcement never reached anyone... |

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 04/18/14 - "The 4th handy hint is a good one PLUS
dangerous antiques.":
Jokes Walking through the hallways at the middle school where I work, I saw a new substitute teacher standing outside his classroom with his forehead against a locker. I heard him mutter, "How did you get yourself into this?" Knowing that he was assigned to a difficult class, I tried to offer moral support. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Can I help?" He lifted his head and replied, "I'll be fine as soon as I get this kid out of his locker." *-- I'm A Dog --* A man walks into a doctor's office and says, "Doc, you have to help. I think I'm a dog." The doctor says, "How long have you had this feeling?" The man responds, "Ever since I was a puppy." *-- I Got Two Orders --* The salesman reported back to his boss after several weeks on the road and said, "All I got was two orders." "What were they? Anything good?" "Nope," the salesman replied. "They were 'Get out!' and 'Stay out!'"

BONUS HOLY SATURDAY RECIPES:
http://www.mycatholickitchen.com/2011/04/holy-saturday-and-what-to-do-with-leftover-easter-eggs.html - Holy Saturday Recipes - "In the Catholic Church, Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday, is the final day of the Triduum, the three days during which we commemorate Christ’s Passion. It is supposed to be a quiet day of reflection. I thought I would give my readers a idea of what to do with the leftover Easter eggs. They are already cooked, so it will save us some time in the kitchen. Waste not want not is my motto. I guess you could say they are being recycled." |
