Christ's Passion at the Dominican abbey

The spiritual highlight of Lent for me so far this year was going with Eddie to the Męka Chrystusa (the Passion) at the Dominican abbey in Służew. I was expecting a mass, but this format I found more uplifting, allowing one more time for deep contemplation.

The procession, led by the Dominican friars around the 14 Stations of the Cross, was accompanied by Gregorian chant, Latin prayers and candlelight (to which my Nokia N95's camera has given a purple cast). As I've mentioned before, the abbey's accoustics are excellent, and the vox humana fades beautifully into the dark vastness.
