Music in the Silence

Last week I was sitting in the living room of my friend's house, when all of the sudden I heard hymns being sung. I sat there trying to recognize the refrain, and realized it was being sung in German. I looked out the window, and there walked a single-file line of people in robes singing hymns as they were walking through the nearby field. It was like a modern-day scene from Lord of the Rings! I found out later that it was in honor of another German holiday, Ascension Day.
