Epiphany

Yesterday, we spent the day in Fargo with friends (Alex's Godparents) and attended Mass at the Cathedral of St. Mary.  At the last minute, Zeke was asked to dress up as one of the Wisemen and take part in the procession and help bring up the gifts during Mass.

Louis wasn't calm, so I needed to stand in back.  I was able to see FatherWilhelm hold each 'Wiseman' and give the boy a little push to walk at the right moment.  It was one of those moments where you wish you had a camera ... but didn't. 

The Wisemen were dressed in shiny finery with hats fitting their stature.  Zeke's was a tall pointed hat and he was dressed in an orange tunic trimmed in gold.  Before he walked he glanced over at me with his shy half grin.  I worried that he'd trip on the shoe laces sticking out from under the 'slightly too long' tunic.   He didn't trip, but I did tuck in the shoe laces before he processed up the aisle with the gifts later during the Mass. 

Zeke sat up in the front pew with the other Wisemen.  He sat still, thankfully!
