投稿の詳細: 初詣 Fisrt pray of the year at Zenkoji

今日初詣に善光寺に行って来ました。
結構な人出でした。
３が日って込んでるからな～
と思って空いた頃を見計らっていったんですが、
やはり２年参りや３が日に行くのとは気合の
入り方が違って。こういう季節の
行事はってのは、やはりやり時・行き時があるな～
と感じた次第です。

I went to pray at Zenkoji temple in Nagano today.
I had decided to go today because there should be very croweded
first three days of the new year.

However, I was actually not so much encouraged to go today after the heat of the new year. It made me noticed that anything should have its own timing to do so especially in case of such kind of festival or seasonal event.

ところで、善光寺の名前の由来というのは、
何でも『よしみつ』さんという人の名前だそうですね。
その方が何をしたのかは忘れてしまいましたが。

By the way, did you know that the name of Zenkoji is after a man named Yoshimitsu which is another way of reading the chinese characters of Zenko (ji means temple). I forget what he had done.

全く話は変わりますが、今日知人の訃報に接しました。
そのことについては、また別の機会に。

Today I heard that one of my acquaintance had passed away last night. I would mention it at next occasion.
