In Catholicism, Easter is a season, not merely a day. As such, sharing photos from Easter Sunday almost a week later would be perfectly acceptable…

With a Polish priest driving from Columbia to fit Polish Mass into a schedule that includes English and Spanish Masses throughout the day, our Easter was a late Easter,with Mass at 15:00 and the requisite gathering — for what is Easter for Poles but a Thanksgiving with spiritual meaning? — following ninety minutes later.

Coming together from near and far — Asheville, Atlanta, and five miles up the interstate — the adults did what Poles do best: talk, eat, talk, laugh, talk, sing, and talk.

The kids — two boys and four girls — did what they do best.
