On last January 29th, 2013
Dorothea, a community forum for florists of Bandung diocese, held a seminar with a theme
of ‘The Lenten Days – Sacret Tri Duum and Its Décor’. Most of Margriet members
were attended, not only because Margriet is one of the members of Dorothea but
also because it was held at St. Peter Cathedral church, the headquarter of
Margriet which means Margriet was the host of this seminar.
Totally 120 persons filled the
hall of St. Peter Cathedral church, they’re the representatives of the parish churches
in Bandung diocese (for information, there are
23 churches in Bandung ) as well as in West Java such as from Garut, Tasikmalaya, Purwakarta etc.
The seminar began at 9.15 am, and
it was given by Mr. Agung Nugroho, formerly the head of liturgy of St. Peter
Cathedral Bandung. According to the theme, he talked about liturgy a glance and
more about its decor, the color and symbol. He also asked what he was saying
was not to be debated but just to add or complement to what the participants had
already known.
Time passed fast, and before ending his lecture, he still provided time for the participants to ask questions and they didn't waste this chance.Lot questions from the participants
were indicating that the seminar was interesting and long-awaited.

Hopefully
this seminar can increase their knowledge about the pre-Easter season and be more
confident in church decor and finally upon their returning further improve
their services in their respective churches.
Some samples of the flower
arrangements for the Lent days made by (opposite clockwise) Mrs. Kitty
(using woven elegant-palm leaves), Mr. Harry (using dried leaves/seeds/salix),
Mrs. Hany (using dracaena, fern, croton leaves)
Pastor Leo van Beurden, the head
of the parish of Cathedral St. Peter Bandung took time to greet all the
participants attended in the hall.
The seminar finished at 11.30,
and before going home to their respective regions, the participants had lunch
together. The queue was quite long.
And what is the menu? It’s a
'Lontong cap go meh'. It consists of rice cakes, shredded chicken, egg, spicy
chili-gourd-chicken liver poured with coconut sauce and a bit of soy-garlic
powder on top, hmm.... yummy!
