The Harrowing of Gwynedd
“—IV Maccabees 2:53 What remained of the night brought but fitful sleep for any of the three Deryni. Nor might they lie abed, for Holy Saturday made early morning demands of everyone in the sanctuary. Emotionally wrung out from their experience and already primed with the stark, solemn symbolism of Holy Week, all three reported bizarre dreams when they conferred after Joram’s first Mass the next morning. In addition, Evaine found herself possessed of an inexplicable desire to see the remains of ...Orin and Jodotha blessed and laid to rest as quickly as possible.
“I don’t know why it’s so important; it just is,” she said, when pressed for a reason. Indeed, though sheer logic could support absolutely no urgency for reinterring a pair dead these nearly three centuries, some unignorable sense beyond logic did insist that this was a task best resolved, and quickly. Even Joram came to agree, to his own surprise.
Sheer practicality presented its own problems, however. Logistically speaking, a worse day for the task than Holy Saturday could scarcely be imagined, even if the symbolism of descending into the tomb was inescapable.MoreLess
