This image is once again from Holy Family parish in Hicksville, New York, and shows the main altar decorated during the Holy Hour I used to lead every first Friday of each month. The Monstrance is shown in the foreground, placed on the altar, while in the background are various angels painted blowing trumpets, as other smaller angels are further down surrounded with flowers. The theme of Alleluia is obviously highlighted in this image as we rejoice with the Risen Christ, triumphant over death. Trumpets evoke a sense of joy and glory, especially after the muted music that was prevalent during Lent. And even just looking at them, it elevates your spirit to heaven as we sing and play joyfully the festive music that dominates the Easter season.
