some photos from the weekend

Here is our home altar when we live stream a service from the Guilford Church:

This was the set-up for Maundy Thursdsy and the Office of Tenebrae. We extinguished a candle after each reading.

Monday, I talked with Mary Cay Brass on the phone, and she asked if we had seen Unorthodox, a 4-part series on Netflix. I said "No," we didn't have Netflix. She thought we could get it on our iPhone, so I looked into it, and sure enough, we can. So I signed up for a 30 day free-trial, and last evening we watched Unorthodox, which I gather is all the rage. I've heard it mentioned several times on the radio. It is about a young wife, Esther (Esty) who flees her marriage and her ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn and goes to Berlin, where her grandmother lives. She is pursued by her husband, Yanky, and his unscrupulous cousin, Moishe. It paints a pretty unflattering picture of how women are treated in ultra-orthodox communities, which may be accurate or not - how are we to know for sure? But dramatically it is gripping for sure. We can also watch movies like The Irishman. Our phone data service on Consumer Cellular goes up to 55GB, which is a lot. I think we can watch all the movies we want.  Another activity for this "shelter-in-place" time!
