Dear All Saints and St Marys There is something about how rituals originate and begin that I find really interesting. This week the Feast of Candlemas (or the Feast of the Presentation) is celebrated by the Church. Various rituals and ways of marking this feast have been given to us as a church over the years, mainly to do with blessing and light. St Marys will have Choral Evensong connecting us to some of the traditional canticles and music that has been formed over centurie

Which of these three days is most significant? Advent, Christmas, Epiphany Of course, each one is important.

I reach eagerly, like a hungry child, for these words at the start of 2026. And what a promise it is - The promise of God to sustain us in courage and confidence.
