Christ is Risen! The Lord is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!

Traditionally, the eight days of the Paschal Octave have absolutely no fasting in them. Jerome is still going without certain foods, though he started his trial of sesame last week, so we are letting him have small amounts of the baba ghanooj and hummus for his portions of them this week. This permits him to share in the feast a little more. We had some gluten-free flat breads that we found at the Grocery Outlet that were safe for him, so he is able to use them in place of the khoubz with the salads and dips.

Blessed Feast!
