Wow... that's pretty impressive stamina you guys have... Sometimes, I play for the midnight masses (around Christmas time)... and I find that after an hour's worth of church service, I'm ready to fall asleep right away... I guess, if there was the promise of a party afterwards with lots of drink and food, that would make it a moment to wake up at the end!

yea and the younger generation (from 15-35) usually visit church for 10 minutes :P to get the holly light, say that we've been to church ok now bring the food :P
For a tourist though the holly week will be one of the most amazing experiences in his/her life, especially if he/she follow some rules like fasting for a week, going to church at least for an hour each day. Fasting may sound a big deal for someone and usually the local never do it only the older ones but for the tourist the fasting foods will seem amazing (especially if you are a vegan). The church psalms and stuff that going on are different each day and have happy tune so they will like that too. We on the other hand got used to it and sometimes we take our family and friends and spent our Holly Week in another town because they have a bit of different traditions :P
