Heavenly clouds on Christmas Eve

We had the traditional Vesperal Liturgy of St. Basil on Christmas Eve, late afternoon. We had the unexpected addition of two visiting chanters who volunteered to help our lone chanter. As a result, we had some wonderful three-part chanting going on. It really helped the congregation join in.

On the funny side, I got just a little carried away with the incense. Hmm, would you believe our Parish Council president almost fainted and had to be led out to sit outside for a little bit while he regained his breath? I was teased about it afterwards. Mind you, it was good natured teasing, but I was most embarrassed.

I was particularly embarrassed because the Council president is ex-Special Forces, and I had managed to do what the enemy could not do. I nearly decked him.

Note to self: less incense in the future.
