Altar Boys and Girls

Orosi has two Catholic Churches - the old one, the tourists come to see - and a new one, that is much larger. Something important was going on in the new church, because many cars parked in front of it.

I decided to see what was going on, and was surprised to see altar boys and girls in front of the church. One girl is holding a large cross, and one of the boys is swinging the incense burner - although no smoke was coming from it.

I was told that altar girls have been common in the Catholic Church for some time now.
