13th day of CNY

Crowds at the 3rd Station of the Cross

What a dreadful start of the day. I was feeling very dizzy and nauseous the moment I got up. And I was like that all morning .... in fact all day. It's a very light-headed feeling, everything spinning around ... like the last few seconds before you actually faint. And I've lost my appetite even though I've forced my self to eat something otherwise I'd get more giddy from hunger. And the fever continued all day. It's not looking good.

Armenian seminarians with sisters of
the 3rd Station

Same thing said about the weather. 6 degree weather all day, very cold winds and it even drizzled just after lunch. Still it did not dampen the crowds coming into the Old City. There was a sudden influx of european and american tourists today. The 3rd Station of the Cross is the intersection where people of all 3 religions pass ... and this morning the crowd was unbelievable. I had the Armenian Mass at the 3rd Station this morning and it was very nice to have our armenian seminarians coming to help me. The White Fathers' seminarians also came to help with the readings. It was a good liturgy ... I'm beginning to do more parts of the Mass in Armenian now. The PDDM sisters who are in charge of the Armenian cathedral at the 3rd Station invited us for breakfast after the Mass. It was a nice moment.

After that I needed to rest as the dizziness was getting worse. And talking about dizziness, the govt has issued another warning of an impending massive earthquake. I should repack my earthquake backpack again ... restock the medicines and water bottles in it.  https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-southern-israel-is-hundreds-of-years-overdue-for-an-earthquake-1.6933565?fbclid=IwAR2vsJr_4bDl6PFh6q2RGvWH2Tn0IftnUSXUYnydIJS0vFWkWqFrCcH35ns
