In some cultures, it is traditionally to visit various churches after the Holy Thursday Mass for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The iPadre talks about the tradition
here. I remember hearing about some of my friends doing this a few years ago, but I had totally forgotten. Instead of trying to make it back to the Cathedral for Tenebrae, I decided to try and do this instead (and I coerced Mark to go along too!) Finding 7 churches that were open and close enough was rather challenging. Not all churches were open and some closed at 9 pm, 9:30 pm, 10 pm, 11 pm and Midnight.
Here are the altars we managed to visit. If there is a link, it means I've visited and it takes you to the post.
St. Wenceslaus
St. Pius V
St. John the Baptist
St. Raphael
I do have some pictures of altars stripped that I'll post later.
