Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteDid somebody actually twist the tripod locally or did you purchase it from somewhere like that?
ReplyDeleteI ask because I want to twist out trikiri & dikiri for when Archbishop Mark visits, as I have seen done elsewhere, but I have only knowjn it to be done in warmer climes. Heating cold wax just causes it to melt. There needs to be a higher ambient temperature and the wax needs to be at room temperature within those conditions. I just don't know how to effect this and would be grateful for any guidance from experience.
Ex Fide,
ReplyDeleteI am surprised and saddened that my comment above is the only one after you featured these photographs of what were clearly almost (some people facing the wrong way on Holy Saturday) what I would call a 'reference standard' for the celebration of the traditional liturgy of Holy Week.
Do not be discouraged Ex Fide you are doing a superb job (as clearly other member of the serving team at St. Magnus are doing).
