Imagine an Easter where….
* It is warm, sunny, and 70 degrees, almost hot! 
* Where both Eastern and Western Rite Catholics join in mutual celebration and festivity.
* Where a former member of a prominent Ukrainian singing group chanted the Easter eulogies is full force.
* Where the mysticism of a restored 13th century Carthusian church blends with the smell of incense and fresh lilies and other odiferous spring flours to create the most intoxicating smell you have ever experienced.
* Where fasting and solemnity turned into shouts of joy and songs of praise.
* Where students, locals, faculty, staff, consecrated lay, sisters, priests, and people from over 30 countries joined together in worship.
* Where creek jumping is considered a sport and way to celebrate
* Where besides the warm weather, there is snow covering all the mountains and people skied before the Easter Vigil.
If you can imagine all that….you will have some idea of how Easter was celebrated in Spring 2009
