Macklin and his band enthralled the crowd till 10pm. Nobody moved. It was a sight to behold when hundreds of candles swayed in the lightless ground to the solemn beat. It was mesmerizing.
The effort also brought old and young parishioners together in organizing, publicizing and volunteering for the event. The ushers too pooled in with their expertise.
It was truly a Journey Home in all respects.
