An interesting chapter in the Adventures of Eva...Since Christmas, we've been going to mass every Sunday with a religious community called the Monastic Fraternity of Jerusalem. Last week the brothers invited us to stay for lunch with them after mass. To our surprise, we found ourselves eating in silence (except for the choral music playing), admonished by a very severe-looking painting of St. Benedict on the wall--he was brandishing a large stick and underneath him was written SILENTIUM.
However, the silence was broken after the meal and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the brothers over coffee and chocolate. Pierre-Emmanuel especially took to Eva.
