Ostersonntag (Easter Sunday)

The Chapel at King's College, Cambridge, broadcasts its Evensong services live over BBC Radio 3, accessible via internet. So I get to listen to the Easter Evensong, imagining I'm there, like I was last month, in the inky blue gloaming, surrounded by soft candlelight and dark carved wood, listening to one of the best choirs of the world, angelic boys voices hovering somewhere in the shimmering vaulted ceiling. There's also something to be said for listening to Scripture quoted in a British accent.

Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.

Song of Solomon 8:7
