Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates Christmas today so it’s 7th of January and we don’t celebrate it at 25th of December so I started my Christmas in the church of Saint Sava/ It’s the biggest church on Balcan and I live two streets from it so I did arrange to meet up with my boyfriend tick before midnight and I actually primarily organized with Ana to go with for a liturgy, but you know I do have a boyfriend and all that kind of stuff and he wanted to go alone in another church and I was I was we can go together so me we met up a few minutes after midnight because it was chaos in front of the church because of the firework. It was so many people and the firework wasn’t that much at all and I can’t believe it when we were going through the mass some people brought a dog and the dog was so scared… how can you have a dog and not know that they are quite scared of fireworks and everything that comes with firework and Christmas and you just bring dog, it was traumatized and I was just shaking every time something bombed for him like is he actually okay 🥺
So liturgy lasted until 2 AM and after that everybody wants to get a wine and a piece of bread after 40 days of not eating meat but I didn’t want it so I waited for Marko to finish with that and we were finished by 2:15 AM and Marko who primarily wanted to go to another church because this is like the largest church in the Balcans and he didn’t want to be in church until 4 AM. He was like it was OK. It lasted as it should last in every other church but you know you get a feeling of that big church and a lot of people and the liturgy was different/it had such segments that other churches don’t have it was a nice deal and because I was driving to get Ana I parked on place that I definitely should not park at 2 AM. I was repacking my car and I didn’t have a problem finding a parking space because everybody actually left after the firework and firework wasn’t that quite a deal as it was last year, but yeah, a lot of people actually just came for the firework firework, not liturgy, even though it was quiet full inside of the church
And as our year we had a family lunch so this is me in the car with my mom, bringing some cake for a lunch and these are some photos because you know it would not be me. I don’t bring camera with me.
Those pomegranate treats look yummy!
