We Quasimodos

In her Low Sunday sermon Denise Kelsall reflects on the Easter experience then and now. "Today is also called Quasimodo Sunday. This comes from the first two words of ancient antiphons or sung responses of the eucharist celebrated this Sunday that speaks to those newly baptised at Easter - it goes: Quasi modo, geniti infantes, rationabile - which translates “as newborn babes, alleluia.” And yes, this is the origin of the name of the hunchback, Quasimodo, in Victor Hugo's famous novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Quasimodo was a foundling who was discovered at the door of Notre Dame cathedral on Low Sunday and so was named after this day." Full text at http://www.stmatthews.org.nz/nav.php?sid=500&id=933
