Today the Deities wore the dress that was first offered on Gaura Purnima three years ago. While the devotees waited for the arati i was asked to wait because the speaker was bringing his English as a second language class and he wanted them to see the ceremony. Since the other devotees didn't know about it they became impatient. That year Easter was very near Gaura Purnima . This dress has the same shade of purple that Christian priests wear in their stoles for the season. As the speaker was trying to explain Gaura Purnima to his class he said it was like our Saint Patrick's day since his students had been quite excited about that day which had been the week before. All these combined to make the name of this outfit "Saint Patrick's Easter comes fashionably late"
