On Thursday (the day before Good Friday), Don and I walked down to the mall that is near our house to meed with our language coordinator. On the way we passed a very old church that is still used for mass each week. There were young people all around the entrance and waiting on the steps and all of them had on white shirts. Someone later told us that they were probably rehearsing for the procession that will be on Easter Sunday morning.
When we came out of the mall after our meeting and began our walk home we saw so many people walking to the stadium (across the street from the mall) all wearing some form of the color red. This stadium is home to the Benfica soccer team and their fans are hardcore.
I think there could be a poignant spiritual illustration somewhere in the midst of all that we saw.
