THEY PUT ON THEIR EASTER BONNET WITH ALL THE FRILLS UPON IT
This year Easter Sunday fell on the day
after tax day. Easter is the day Lent comes to an end and those who have abstained from
something they love are now set free to indulge in whatever sin
they’ve been avoiding. Nothing could have been more visibly truer than what was
on display cramming Fifth Avenue for the blocks stretching out both North and
South of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. I can only imagine what Cardinal Dolan might
think of the flock of revelers out in front of his house of the Lord had he peered out from one of the turrets and surveyed the crowd below. I’m
hoping he has a sense of humor about it since it was bringing smiles across the
faces of old and young and some animals too. It was a veritable photographic
candy store for anyone with an iPhone or an exploding Samsung. The weather was
perfect. It was three hours of just plain joy walking back-and-forth on the
traffic free avenue snapping pics of the costumed crowd with some of the most
inventive hats to be seen anywhere outside of Dr. Seuss’ “ The 500 Hats of Bartholomew
Cubbins ”. Lets hope these pictures can put the same smile on your face as they did on mine.
