Mass today

Today we went to the parish mass and then Father Mark told us about the Paschal candle. He told us about the 5 wounds, Father Mark told us that the date of the year always has to be on the candle, the cross always has to be on the candle, the koru patterns don't always have to be on the candle, The wax they use is bees wax; it smell's like honey. He told us that two wounds are on Jesus' two hands, two feet and one on his side, the wound on his side was from a spear and blood and water came out. The nail has a grain of incense inside. In Reporoa a half of a church burnt down because they forgot to blow out the candle and they only go once a week to the church. Luckily there was a house next door and the people called the fire brigade. By Yana and Briana Mass this morning on PhotoPeach
