Beautiful job as always. Our friend Mary Healy, the Biblical scholar, found a very ancient recipe for how to make pickles. It talked about how you baptize the cucumbers in a brine solution for several weeks. The word "baptism," she explained, pre-dates the Church and literally applies to a cucumber spending weeks in the right mixture to "transform" from cucumber to pickle. Because it means immersion, to be dunked to transform. That, of course, is precisely what happens to us when we are baptized, becoming a new person. Thank you for all you do.
