Today we had mass, of course, it is Sunday! Thankfully it wasn’t as early as yesterday… today it was at 10 AM. Thank you God!
The mass here is a beautiful celebration. The music is very rhythmic and catchy. The women are very well dressed. Some of them wear traditional Samburu dresses. Some men were also wearing traditional shirts and something similar to a skirt, not too long just up to the knees. Others were simply wearing western clothes: shirts or blouses and pants. The population that attends mass is 60% children, 25% women and 15% men.
For me, their mass is like a party. The people are dressed in their best outfits, they sing, dance and through this celebration they break the routine of the week.
Unfortunately I couldn’t understand anything because the mass was only in Samburu. What a shame that language divides us… The only problem (for me) was that mass was too long. It was almost 1 hour and 30 minutes, in the heat and with no AC….I have been missing the AC.
