    Yes, I think meatless Fridays, Latin, head covering all went out the window around the same time, during the Ecumenical Councils, I think.

    Lots of great memories here today, it was a good time, very different from even today's catholic youth.

    The nuns were tough but that was part of all of it. :)

    That's another change I didn't like when the nuns starting dressing in regular clothes except for the veil.

    There were quite a few different habits as I recall. None like the flying nun though. :)

    My gosh! .. something I totally forgot about until you posted that Ruby! .. thanks for jogging my brain.
    Every Easter we had one of these at the Easter dinner table. And if I remember correctly, it was more of a bread than a cake under all that coconut. ... but it always looked something like the one pictured.

    Funny .... I'm planning to attend a church service at a neighborhood church on Easter, with my one daughter and two granddaughters along.
    First thing I said was, do I need a hat? ... My daughter " Mom this isn't 1950!"
    I bet there will be Easter Bonnets though, no? ;)

    Oh @Karen McKenzie , these are breathtaking! The old Russian Tsars and the Romanov family collected Faberge eggs. What is it with Russians and eggs?
