Spring is a beautiful time of year and I must say my favourite. It is uplifting to leave the dark nights and mornings behind us as the evenings begin to draw out and bulbs begin to poke their heads through. Birds begin to build nests in the hope of raising a family. Mother Nature awakens.
Spring is often associated with hope and rebirth – indeed Easter celebrates the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ and it takes place in Spring.
‘For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land’.
Song of Solomon 2:11-12
What does Spring mean to you?
Here in St Peter’s church yard we find the earliest flowers. These flowers provide vital nectar for wakening bees and insects.
Here are some photos taken in the churchyard by James Cullen.

The Feast of the Epiphany, which always falls on 6 January, marks the beginning of a season which recognizes Jesus to be the Son of God.
The word ‘epiphany’ means ‘manifestation’ or ‘appearance’, and the Feast of the Epiphany marks the recognition of the newborn Jesus by the world. Later, the Church remembers the Baptism of Christ by John, when a voice from heaven declares Jesus to be God’s beloved Son. Finally, on 2 February, the season of Epiphany ends with the Feast of the Presentation. Jesus is brought to the Temple by his parents according to the law of Israel. There, he is recognized by Simeon, who declares him to be ‘a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of God’s people Israel.’ The traditional service for this feast includes a procession of candles, and so it is often known as Candlemas.
