From the blessing of the open
fire outside St Agnes Anglican Church and the lighting of the Paschal candle,
through a thoroughly entertaining yet poignant sermon by the peerless Father
Ian, to the reminders of baptism through his blessings and sprinkling of blessed
water for the faithful, Easter Sunday Service in Esk was a celebration of joy
commemorating this day of great religious significance.
Under the inspiring direction of
Alexis and with Margaret’s glorious accompaniment, it is only a handful of days
before the ‘Cantiamo Choir’ departs for their long- awaited performance tour to
Italy. Along with Sunday’s liturgy for Easter,
this morning was also a celebration of song by the Esk touring Choir with their
sublime sounds of praise sung at significant intervals during the service. It
was indeed a privilege to have been invited to partake of this special day and
to share with a grateful congregation some of the sacred songs this Choir will
be performing in some of Italy’s magnificent churches and basilicas.
