Ms Mac's Easter meanderings

Ms Mac, a book lover from Switzerland, heard mass in Latin during her visit to Malta. She was "raised catholic, attending mass every Sunday without fail from birth until I turned 18 and broke my mother's heart by not going any more". Last Friday she described her "top ten Catholic reminiscences":

Once, while in Malta on a family holiday, my mum was feeling extremely hung over from a BBQ which served bad vino from the night before. We attended mass the next morning (no question of that) and she was green. The church was packed out in the middle of summer so you can imagine how stifling hot it was. She spent the full hour rocking back and forth in the path of the the oscillating tiny electric fan trying desperately not to throw up on the rest of the congregation or pass out. She managed and I have nothing but admiration for her. Incidentally, that night was also the first night I got drunk in the presence of my parents but they were so plastered they didn't even notice me staggering home, wine bottle in hand swigging all the way to the apartment!..
