Flowers
Part of
the catholic tradition is to use all of the senses in worship.
Stained glass,
candles, colours and vestments are things we can see.
Music,
singing and bells
are part of our auditory experience.
Incense appeals
to our sense of smell.
The bread and wine of Communion are tasted.
The water in Baptism, the
laying on of hands and shaking hands
during the "Peace" are examples of the
use of touch.
Flowers, on the other hand, have an appeal
across several senses.
After the
period of Lent, when there are no flowers in Church, on
Easter Day the
building is beautifully decorated with arrangements
which
point so poignantly
to the wonder of the Resurrection.
This page is dedicated
to our team of flower arrangers.

The
theme for our display was 'How great thou art!'
The arrangers interpreted
verses from the hymn and
worked incredibly hard to create a superb display.
The festival itself was a feast of scent, colour and
creativity to proclaim the
mighty works of God.
