Advent Photos 2021 . December 8th and The Wreath Festival

 A Wreath Festival sounded different so off I went to Grundisburgh Church to have a look - with camera of course.

They had all been made by people of the village with so many different materials, ideas, designs and sizes, more than 200 so I've not photographed all of them!

A good fundraiser for the church.

 

 

 

Some, with price labels were for sale

Coffee and cakes were for sale and as I'd not had breakfast I had to partake - of course. While drinking my coffee the angels were looking down on me!

This church isn't featured in my 100 treasures in 100 Suffolk Churches book but if it was it perhaps would have been for the painted Rood Screen,

or the Medieval wall painting,

 

or perhaps for the unusual brick tower

 I asked a lady there if they would ever have the Crib Festival again. She said sadly not as many of the crib and nativity scenes were owned by the previous vicar who has moved on or by Libby Purves (Radio 4 broadcaster, author and wife of Paul Heiney) who no longer has them available to loan.

I'm so glad I went to see them in 2018, which was the last time they were displayed here.

Back Tomorrow
