Arrived a couple days ago. Spring is in the air, snow is melting and the shelves are stocked... it's a great time to be a Russian (or married to one).

Going to SSPX on Sunday, will report back.

Did you travel there via Turkey?
Contentment is knowing that you're right. Happiness is knowing that someone else is wrong.

Yessir. Spent a night in Istanbul so we didn't go nuts.

Христо́с воскре́се!

Went to Mass today - only 15 people, but I suspect most of parishoners went to the Vigil last night.

Small little chapel in the basement of a building in a cemetery. Certainly felt like being a member of "the remnant" while there.

Next week we'll go to the TLM at the Cathedral, and possibly Armenian Divine Liturgy this week.

Beer vending machines in Spain; check!
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

Were the laity Russian or foreigners? Did they give y'all the "Trad eye"?

If they didn't, then they are not "of the body" (reference for the younger folks to an episode from "Star Treck", the original series)

Mostly Russian.

Not really - a lot of them recognized my wife from the Diocesan TLM days.
