As we come to the end of the Pentecost octave and the Easter season, we wish to thank all of our readers who sent in these photos of their liturgies. We had a rather bigger response this year, so there will be a second part fairly soon. This is also, I believe, the first time we have a shower of rose petals. (Photos and videos below.) Our next photopost will be for Corpus Christi; a reminder will be posted early next week. Evangelize through beauty!

Following an old custom still fairly common in Europe, most famously at the Pantheon in Rome, a shower of rose petals was dropped from the ceiling to represent the tongues of fire at the coming of the Holy Spirit.
