Wow - you got vino after Mass?!?! At church or at home? The priest at my old church was a teetotler, but a great guy - Saturday Mass started at 4 pm, was done by 4:20 pm. As an altar buy, I was out the door by 4:30.
RIP Father C.!
Ah, shor-an-begorra, ye've witnessed the legendary Irish Mass. Twenty minutes, in and out, and yer' ticket t'heaven's been punched. Me not-so-sainted father preferred the Irish Mass, taking the seat nearest the door to be in and out faster than the rest of the congregation. We cremated him when he died, and me sainted mither had the priest put the ashes right by the door for the mass.
At home. We’re Orthodox and we have that Midnight Mass on January 6 every year. 1 am, you’re 14, it’s already 4 hours past bedtime, full stomach...glass of wine....zonked for 12 hours. No school the next day.
