The Light & Glory of New Life in The Easter Season

Karen Osborne • April 17, 2025

Celebrating light at Easter, may see you having a tranquil moment of stillness by candle light, it can be a beautiful way to relax and be reflective. Others may go for a roaring fire!! Just as Midnight Mass is the main event for Christmas, the Easter Vigil is the main event for the Easter season. Easter Saturday is known as Holy Saturday which traditionally was a very quiet day, the liturgy unfolds with symbol after symbol of the significance of this night being unveiled before our very eyes, and it all starts with light.

 

Often Church services begin in the darkness outside with a great fire pit, the fire will be blessed, and from it the great Paschal Candle is lit. The fire symbols the light and glory of the Resurrection.


So whether you celebrate the Easter season by candle light or firelight, some of our beautiful handmade creations will be perfect.


Or promote new life with these lovely items

We hope you enjoy a Happy Easter.

Autumn is a great time to make changes to your garden so that you will enjoy it even more next year. It’s time to plant spring bulbs and many other plants, mulch your borders and prepare new ground for growing.
