Since I was to be away celebrating Mass in another community for Holy Thursday night, the pictures below are only of the preparations for the Mass of The Lord's Supper in the main church Santo Antonio.
The altar of Repose in the "Barracão" {Parish Hall}.
There was that many helping with the preparations that we had lunch provided for the helpers in the parish hall. The big pots hold, boiled rice, beans {yuck!} and a kind of a chicken stew, feet, gizzards, inners and all!!
After Mass tonight this bread and wine will be distributed to all. "The Eucharist ~ Life, Promise & Fraternity."
A view of the Sanctuary area.
The artist was a local man. "The Eucharist is a celebration of life."
