TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In medieval times, one country, Scotland, linked its economy to the liturgy. Four holy days of the church calendar were keyed to the legal year. On these days, rents were due, clergy and servants were paid, and contracts and leases would begin or end. The term days were Pentecost (called Whitsunday), the Feast of Saint Martin on November 11 (Martinmas), the Feast of the Presentation on February 2 (Candlemas), and August 2 (Lammas), a harvest festival. On Lammas day, the first loaf of bread from the summer wheat harvest was given to the village priest. After the Reformation, which swept the Catholic festivals away, the term days were gradually detached from the old feasts. It was only in 1990 that the term days were anchored on the 28th of February, May, August, and November. Today the old Scottish universities are the last holdouts, still naming their terms or semesters after the old festivals. Scottish students today may not know about the liturgical year, but they still call the fall term Martinmas, and the spring session Candlemas. PLEASE RETURN If you have taken a hot beverage carafe and/or dish towels home from an event in the Parish Hall to clean please return them as soon as possible. We use the hall --Rev.

This shared life finds expression in the image of the one vine and many branches. We become living branches of the vine, members of the Body of Christ through baptism, Eucharist, and confirmation, sacraments of sharing God's own life. The First Letter of John describes the fruit of this vine as active love of neighbor: "And his commandment is this: we should believe... and love one another" (1 John 3:23). Our first reading from Acts shows us an example of someone who shares in Christ's life in the person of Saint Paul. Paul's fearless witness, even at the risk of his life, is proof to everyone that the risen Lord's Spirit truly fills him with life and is bearing fruit in him. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Easter Prayer Tis the spring of souls today; Christ has burst his prison, And from three days sleep in death as a sun hath risen; All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from his light, to whom we give Laud and praise undying. Alleluia! now we cry To our king immortal, Who, triumphant, burst the bars Of the tomb s dark portal; Alleluia! with the Son, God the Father praising, Alleluia! yet again To the Spirit raising. -St. John Damascene Page 4
