THE two most important seasons of the Christian year are Easter (which this year falls in April) and Christmas. Holy Week (the week immediately preceding Easter), Easter Sunday, Advent and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are times when there is increased activity within our local churches.
These occasions are for remembering the key moments that underpin the Christian faith – the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus – and off er moments of great hope and joy. They are also times of both reflection and celebration and have become opportunities in an increasingly busy world to spend time with friends and family, which can result in increased footfall within our churches.
