Two busy weeks...

Christmas is fun, Lent is serious, Easter is joyful…but what of Ascensiontide?
Here we are it has been a month plus now since Easter…there’s some toe-tapping as we await Pentecost (which is always around my birthday). And yet, sandwiched at the end of Easter-tide this year are an exciting collection of Holy Days.

We are entering an exciting period in the Christian calendar…lots to feast our hearts and minds on, lots of inspiration…
-          Rogation Days
-          Feast of St Matthias
-          Ascension Day
-          Ascensiontide
-          Festivals for such luminaries as Dunstan, John & Charles Wesley, The Venerable Bede, and Augustine; plus commemorations for: Caroline Chisholm, Aldhelm, Philip Neri, and John Calvin….completed by
-          Pentecost.


The next fortnight is a liturgically rich time – something for everyone.

And we start on Monday 14 May with the first Rogation Day and the feast of St Matthias.
