Sun Day

We are still in a state of shock that we did it. I used to consider myself as a sun lover but from today on I think I have become an Australian : ) – I hide myself at the moment in a dark air-conditioned room.

Together with Richard we were biking back to Rosnay farm from Canowindra (relatively short distance). It was somewhere around midday. Sun was cutting us to the pieces and frying on the melting down asphalt : ) Up-the-hill rides were most down (de)pressing.

Poor sheeps had only one shade to share:


Maybe that is why our (yours) christianized ancestor didn’t change the name of this day to Godday (what seems to be more logic than sunday). The power of sun is more visible to the sinners like us. Polish Niedziela derives from uneven/undivisable word because it is seventh day of the week. But Saturday (Sobota), though is rooting from old Slavic word meaning a celebration of the longest sunny day in a year : ). We are all pagans it seems.

I ve made a small calculation. I have counted the people taking part in today’s holy mass and I related it to the local population: 32/1700 = 1.88% of locals worship Christian God : ) on Sun Day.
PS.
I just remembered that there is a second church (catholic one) in here. If to assume that the similar number of people was there today then the percentage goes up to almost 4% : )

  1. There are many more Catholics in Canowindra and surrounds (it is more a Catholic area). Maybe around 120 at church on a sunday morning or saturday night (they alternate so that the pirest can go also to do a service at Cargo)
