Thomas: Church and Religious Holidays


Figure 1.-- Here is a photograph taken for Easter 1995. I think it was made after divine service at sunday. It was the last year that I wore short pants at the easter celebrations. A few days later I had my 13th birthday and got my first long pants suit.

We went to church regularly on Sunday. My parents insisted that I dress up. When I was younger, my mother dressed me up for every sunday devine service. As I became older I mostly dressed up only for religious holidays. I normally wore still formal clothes, but not exceptionally as for holiday. For example, I never wore jeans at church. Normally I wore a variety of short pants outfits, depending on the season. Easter and Christmas were important for my family. We celebrated it with the whole family and all relatives. We attended divine services and after the service got together every year at the home of another member of the family. Here is a photograph taken for Easter 1995.
