Ascension Sunday Angels

Beautiful cool bright day. Sue and I decided to go to the gardens at The Grotto this morning, expecting the rhododendron and roses would be gorgeous. We didn’t realize it was a special holy day for Catholics, Ascension Sunday, and a day of special ritual importance for Filipino Catholics. Women of all ages wore gowns, flowers, and banners, and little girls wore white dresses with halos and wings. Their mothers, grandmothers, and aunties were fluttering around them, adjusting their wings and halos. We both photographed a group of the little girls, and our photos were almost identical. We decided to go ahead and post both versions of the angels.
