Today in Germany is Pfingstmontag (Whit Monday) that comes after the Pfingsten or in english language Pentecost (is a feast in the Christian liturgical year commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Christ after the Resurrection of Jesus, it is also called Whit Sunday).
Once at two years in Catholic Church they perform Firmung (Confirmation) on Pfingstmontag for the young catholics that passed over Communion and are older than 15 (Confirmation is one of the seven sacraments through which catholics pass in the process of their religious upbringing. According to Catholic doctrine, in this sacrament they receive the Holy Spirit and become adult members of the Catholic Church). This event is very important in catholic families and somehow marks the end of your childhood because this time you renew the baptismal promises made by your godparents and is supposed that now you are mature enough to take responsibility for your actions.
I participated today at a Confirmation and at the after-party and I have remembered mine and the feeling that you rule the world and now you are a man, an adult and you can be on your own way. I miss those times … and now I understand why my parents were so proud.
And … long talk is boring … I like to read this kind of books baked in Bayern :D
A delicious chocolate book covered in marzipan ... the cookie monster is pleased
