Buddhist monks and nuns, chanting and praying
How intense, the colors of the clothing on these monks as they chanted and prayed in Xian, China. The colors made me think of Valentine's Day, that nowadays secular holiday that can be traced through all kinds of religious manifestations, back to its roots in celebrations of spring and fertility.
I believe these people who have devoted their lives to religious work are praying for the betterment of all humanity, for peace and love. That's a fitting message for today.

It was lovely seeing you drop in at LAWN TEA today! I came by just to say Thank You and got totally caught up in the wither/ dry/roll process---how very interesting!
I think Darjeeling will be my afternoon pot today, just because.

The color just jumps from my computer screen. The gorgeous colors, just beautiful. They definitely are praying for peace and love.
What a thoughtful message. And the photo is stunning. Thank you.
At the heart of true religion is love and peace. It is the "fripperies" that can cause difficulty.
Steph, I hope you had the happiest of Valentine's Day.
