24 Hours for the Lord

[Gurth]

Apparently, it’s “24 Hours for the Lord” today. The diocese of Breda in the Netherlands published a handy schedule of what’s to do where and when for those who feel like taking part:

12.00-17.30 uur Oosterhout: Zusters Benedictinessen van de O.L. Vrouwe Abdij
17.30-21.00 uur Oudenbosch: Basiliek van de H.H. Agatha en Barbara
21.00-02.00 uur Hulst: Sint-Willibrordusbasiliek
02.00-07.00 uur Bergen op Zoom: Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-van-Lourdeskerk
07.00-12.00 uur Breda: H. Antoniuskathedraal

It began yesterday, 30 March at 12:00 o'clock, and of course, it ends at 12:00 today — a nice, round … 23 hours. Somebody didn’t take into account that daylight savings time started early this morning across the EU …

(I heard about this on the radio news this morning, and my first thought was: is it actually 24 hours, or did they screw up? Then the newsreader commented on the same thing.)
