I randomly recalled an aspect of my Roman Catholic upbringing... Strangers brought a portable shrine to our house. Then, a night or so later, a gaggle of different strangers came to say the rosary with us, kneeling in front of the open shrine (which held a statue of Mary, mother of Jesus). Then the original strangers returned and whisked the box away to another home in the parish. It was all very solemn and - to a young child - a classic case of adults behaving oddly.
