IT'S A HOLIDAY

Today August 15,is a holiday here in Italy. We usually called it Ferragosto. Italians (also the Catholic Church) celebrates this date as it commemorates the death of Mary and her bodily assumption into Heaven (before her body could begin to decay--a foretaste of our own bodily resurrection at the end of time). Therefore, it signifies the Blessed Virgin's passing into eternal life. It is the most important of all Marian feasts and a holy day of obligation.

Here in Italy, almost the entire month of August was taken as a holiday and leisure time in honor of this feast day. Ferragosto is mainly a short holiday when Italians take brief vacations.

But for us, we just stayed at home. Since we know, that there will be a lot of traffic on the road today. To celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, me and my husband went to church to attend the mass.

Visiting My Blogs

It's been awhile since I visited my blogs. And now, I was surprised what happened to blogs. My technology blog Let's Talk About Technologies got a PR 2. In this blog, I was a little upset because from PR 3 it was dropped to PR 2. While my first blog My Life's Journey To Italy, was PR 0. But I know that it was my fault because I didn't updated my blogs for a long time. One problem that I have right now is, my 2 other blogs. I can't check the PR of my other blogs. It tells N/A. Maybe because I changed the domain and until now it was not ranked yet by Mr. G. Anyway, I'm planning to revive my blogs. But I have to chose what will I going to revive. Since having a lot of logs is not easy... :,)
