Easter
Holy Island's two retreat houses and the churches have a more or less integrated programme for Holy Week. Northern Cross pilgrims walked through snow before arriving on Good Friday.
Oyvind and Jens from Denmark made a film of his prayer workshops. Sven, leader of our Community in Norway sent this poem with his Easter greetings:
the snow came
as flocks
of white birds
settling upon the earth
incubating it
every day now
new birds
are leaving
soon no one
will be back
only
a newly
hatched
spring.
Tonight all pilgrims will circle a fire on St. Cuthbert's beach, and return to the church to celebrate the resurrection.
Rejoice, earth!
Darkness vanishes!
Glory fills you!
We rise to unimagined heights!
