This painting is of Christ's baptism. What an amazing experience I had in a village near me, before Christmas, with my friend Raquel. She invited me to mass -- a very special one. She's part of a Catholic movement called
Neocathecumenal Way, which sounds to me to have very similar viewpoints about Jesus to my own understanding of the Bible.

Of course, what does one do after mass? Go for tapas (appetizer- sized portions) at the local pub.

The worship time included opportunities for any participant to share what the 3 Scripture readings meant to him/her, and they also had a prayer time for people to be blessed. After this mass on Saturday night, there was a second mass.
