Unexpected Place for A Light Show
While we were up North visiting family for Thanksgiving, we took time out to visit La Salette in Attleboro, MA, one night. This was a monastery that, as I was told, gets decked out in Christmas lights every year. It turned out to be a pretty impressive sight. The myriad lights were set up around a small pond and made for some neat photos.
The lights weren’t the only eye-popping thing about La Salette. It also had a huge gift shop, which struck me as kind of strange, especially for a place of worship.
The Buddhist sites we visited in China also had gift shops–and aren't Buddhists supposed to eschew worldly goods? :)
