Heavenly succession: Who might wear the white cassock next?

With Pope Francis’ passing, the sacred whisper of succession has begun to echo through the marble halls of the Vatican. From the corridors of Rome to the cathedrals of Africa and Asia, at least 15 cardinals are considered “papabili” – those with a real shot at the papacy.

First Impressions of “Death in Florence”

In Death in Florence, Marco Vichi crafts a haunting Italian noir where relentless rain, a missing child, and the devastating floodwaters of the Arno merge into a mystery as powerful as it is unforgettable.

I’ve been writing quietly… somewhere between dog w I’ve been writing quietly…
somewhere between dog walks, paint, and prosecco.

No countdown. No big reveal.
Just… a blog.

It’s live now.

You asked for the recipe… 🤍 This is the tradition You asked for the recipe… 🤍

This is the traditional sepulchre incense pot, prepared during Holy Week in many Maltese homes and churches.

A slow infusion of citrus, spice and herbs —
deepened by Balsamo del Peru, a traditional balsamic resin that gives it its unmistakable depth.

Ingredients:
Oranges (studded with cloves)
Lemons
Apples
Bay leaves
Cinnamon sticks
Coriander
Fennel
Aromatic herbs
Orange water
Sweet wine
Balsamo del Peru

Method:
Simmer gently on low heat for several hours, allowing the scent to develop slowly.

There is no exact formula - only variations, passed down quietly over time.

Roy experienced this one from a distance —

some traditions are beautiful, but a dog’s world is led by scent… and theirs is far more sensitive than ours 🐾

Save this for next Holy Week,
or for the moments you want to remember it.
