Throughout the Bay Area, the weather cooperated with sunshine for early morning Easter egg hunts. One annual tradition held in San Francisco is ‘Easter in the park’, hosted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Thousands turned out for the 45th annual event held in the park at Mission Dolores. It's also the 45th anniversary of the leading-edge order of queer and trans nuns, who believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty. In 1979, it started with two men who donned nun habits as they strolled through the Castro. At that time, there were only four sisters. Today, there are thousands of sisters around the world.
What better way to give them visibility than to throw some glitter and rhinestones on each other and prance around the park on Easter Sunday?"Coincidentally, March 31 is the Transgender Day of Visibility. Sisters came from around the world to celebrate in their founding city, all enjoying unity in the community.Sister Ida came from San Diego and has been attending Easter in the Park for nine years.
