We went to both the Good Friday Liturgy and the Easter Vigil celebrated according to the traditional rite. Both were extremely moving and beautiful.
Highlights included the Reproaches sung to an arrangement by Victoria.
The kids' reactions ranged from genuine appreciation (Ant and Bernie, the teenagers) through interested observation (Charlie, 10) to surviving it pretty well (Dominique - but she is only 8...)
As they all play the piano and other instruments, they appreciated the music as a huge improvment on the all-join-in-never-mind-the-quality approach of our normal parish Masses.
The Latin isn't a problem either - with parallel English texts, there is no difficulty in following what is going on.
All in all a wonderful way to celebrate Holy Week.
