And who has not participated in a ritual of others? I've done it a couple times. One was when I worked in some library that is in a busy place, the kind where tititipuchal of civilians does not leave space to walk on Saturday and Sunday.
As the crowds are not my thing, on weekends, if I had free time after lunch, went to the quietest place: the church, I sat in an ice and ready. However, on one occasion, when I entered I saw that the site was empty: there were about twenty ladies pilgrimage around the church, pace with Hosanna, each with its white flower.
not give much weight to the ceremony, and sat down, but almost immediately came a lady and explained that they were celebrating the holy : "Yes, look, there is, today is the day that is removed and bla bla "he said, pointing to the altar, and me inside," ahhh, yes, I saw ... "but the truth is that among so many crosses, crucifixes, angels and martyrs, I did not understand what he meant, because everything seemed equally holy. Total this lady gave me a flower and asked me to accompany him on his pilgrimage. A little sorrow, another courtesy, I got to journey with them, then returned to the bench, put my flower in the same vase where these doñas the deposited and sat down again. However, after a few Our Fathers, I was asked to continue walking around with them at the rate of Hosanna, which I did two or three more times, until I exit and return to anonymity in the crowd.
