Footnote: Easter, 1967

Every Pascha,

even with grayest of skies,

or most overcast,

is lit with a glow that cannot

be restrained, or explained off.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is based on my first remembered experience of an overcast Pascha, at my grandparents' home.  Two others, most memorably overcast (and spent at my parents' home) were 1973 and 1978.  Pascha of 1985 was dusted with snow.  In those days, not being yet an Orthodox Christian, I called the Holy Festival, Easter.
