The grey suit.



Beautiful necklaces of Mary, St Christopher and Jesus were given to a little boy as he entered the church.
The mass began at a slow pace and a humble offering was made by the people to God as they said Blessed be to God.
The little boy scratched his name onto one of the pews. Another boy wore a grey suit.
It was his first holy communion
He wore a red tie to represent the bleeding heart of Jesus watching down from heaven as the girls scattered petols to wash away the celebrated sins, in a mist of holy white dresses, of worshiping the death of Gods child who had never really died.
Four fathers held the processional cloth that was held highly above the priest as he walked to the garden to bless the people with his purest blessing as they followed,  kneeled, sat, bowed and gathered around him.
Children felt the blessing and the choir song so much they spun around in the centre of the church.
Blessed food and drinks were shared with the people as they left the church.
