Our son's work-mate has recently come from Ghana to Scotland and is a Roman Catholic. He's keen to join any Catholic processions going on in the city around now. Somehow, I think the weather there might be a deterrant for processions, but if there are any events you Scottish Catholics know of, could you kindly advise? Then I'll pass the info on. Ta!

Doubt that there's any processions going on just now, but why not suggest that he visits St Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral in the city. If you visit the cathedral's site below, you can learn the times of masses, plus photographs, history, etc.

A picture is worth a thousand words. An experience is worth a thousand pictures. The more 'real' something seems to us, the more empathy we have for it. Likewise, when we are trying to consider a matter of which we know little, we find it hard to summon much enthusiasm. If there is no photograph or drawing and just some vague description, we simply turn our attention towards something more interesting. large and small are all, ultimately, about communication. If you now need someone to understand something, draw them a picture or better still, give them an experience they can relate to.
!O!O!O!O!O!

Hogmanay? that's new years eve...pretty big but not catholic.
On the night of 30 April, the Beltane Fire Festival takes place on Edinburgh's Calton Hill. The festival involves a procession followed by the re-enactment of scenes inspired by pagan spring fertility celebrations.

'Our son's work-mate has recently come from Ghana to Scotland and is a Roman Catholic.'
Really? Strange there are no funny men in black frocks in Edinburgh.
