All Saints Church News Dear Friends,

In June we are half way through the year. I cannot believe that it is

nearly six months since Christmas. We are now working through the joy

of Easter in the Christian year and soon the countdown to Christmas

2014 will begin! Christmas and Easter are the great Christian Festivals

and also the great holidays in this country, but there are some other

important Christian Festivals and a couple of them are in June this year

because Easter was so late in April.

I expect everyone knows that the word holiday derives from holy day.

In the Middle Ages holy days were the only holidays that people could

have.

When I was a child, and indeed up to 1971, when I was more than a

child, there was a public holiday in this country which was called the

Whitsun Holiday. It happened in the Seventh Week after Easter. The

Sunday was Whit Sunday or Pentecost and the following Monday was

a bank holiday. The whole of the following week was usually half term

for school staff and students. Nowadays this holiday has been fixed

and Bank holiday Monday is always the last Monday in May.

This year, because Easter occurred late in April, the Church will

celebrate Pentecost on 8th June. At Pentecost, the church remembers

the coming of the Holy Spirit to the followers of Jesus. Pentecost is

considered to be the birthday of the Church. The Holy Trinity is now

complete. It is good to mark the occasion of a birthday and having a

holiday is a good way to do that. The holiday this year is before

Pentecost, but it is still good to have a holiday.

The second Festival of the Church in June this year is Trinity Sunday.

This is on 15th June this year and it is when, after the coming of the Holy

Spirit at Pentecost, the Church celebrates God: Father, Son and Holy

Spirit. There is no holiday associated with this celebration, but we can

almost begin the countdown to Christmas again, with its holiday and

joyful celebrations.

As we move into the holiday season, enjoy your holidays and the rest,

and relaxation they bring.

Ann Cattermole, Reader in the Polden Wheel Benefice.
