It came through OK for me.
When it finished I watched the African Children's choir as an added bonus.
This brought back memories of being in Egypt shortly before Christmas.
We found ourselves outside a large Coptic church and heard children singing so we went in and sat at the back.
They were rehearsing for Christmas celebrations and before long we were noticed and greeted by some of the friendliest people. It was a delightful experience; much better than walking around the market place being hassled by the vendors.

In many Eastern European countries, it is a tradition to have a basket of food blessed on Holy Saturday or Easter Sunday. In Poland, for example, the blessing of the baskets is known as święcenie pokarmow wiełkanocnych, a practice dating to the 15th century or earlier, and one which is still maintained by most families in Poland on Holy Saturday.
The food items in the Easter basket, as well as at the Easter Sunday breakfast where the blessed food is eaten, have special significance.
