40 Days Prayer For The Faithful Departed Copy
This was my first time ever in my life here in Vienna to attend or to take part a 40th days prayer for the faithful departed, Brother Rey Reyes father!
Was held in their house in 20first District of Vienna with the Marriage Spirituality Holy Family Community (MS-HFC). Took place last Monday the 27th of February (2012).
Right after novena (prayer), we had dinner. Almost all the food stuff that was served came from the Philippines. We had Pinakbet, Ginataang mini Tulingan, fried Lumpiang Gulay and Pata (Stelze, knuckle of pork) for viand. As you could see in picture above:) And for “panghimagas” we had Ginataang bilo-bilo, Cassava cake, and Boiled Peanuts, etc, etc, etc…LOL… Kuya Rey was telling me that the okras in Pinakbet he brought it all the way from Pilipinas. Also the horse mackerel (tulingan), and the boiled peanuts was harvested from Sta. Cruz, Ilocos Sur where his daughter in-law came from. That was so cute to hear about!
