Extremely well noted: a ceremony for the senses! This goes for Catholicism for sure, the followers of which are seldom remotel ascetic! (They have Confession and Absolution so they can feast a bit.) The Protestants, however, who advocate sobriety have very little for the senses to enjoy in their plain churches and severe preaching (depends on the type of protest invoked, but still).
Your musings (also on Monet) are charming.
thank you so much for commenting! Indeed, maybe I will have a look at the Protestant's churches as well :)
