Title: Happy Easter
Post by: Silver Tabby on March 31, 2024, 06:47:12 AM
CHRIST IS RISEN !

Christ is risen -
let bells be rung
and may all the
joyful hymns be sung.
Let all the world
join hands and pray
with thankful hearts
this Easter day -
for Christ is risen !

Christ is risen -
let our voices raise
all hearts and souls
to give him praise.
May the corners of the
earth learn from his pain.
May his resurrection bring
hope, may his truth remain -
for Christ is risen !

Happy Easter to everyone. Surprisingly, the BBC is still broadcasting Easter Sunday Service from Canterbury Cathedral.

Talking about the BBC, they have for the first time decided not to broadcast on television the Nine Lessons and Carols service from Kings College Chapel, Cambridge this year.  It can be heard on Radio 3 and on the World Service.  I assume that the BBC believes that there are not many Christians now in the UK.

(Not Easter, of course.)

I look forward to watching a 'musical' service from a mosque instead.  That would suit the BBC better.

Not sure just what it was but recall channel hopping and coming across a programme showing a circular crowd of prostate robed figures with some odd musical accompanyment that I swear wasn't using an 8 note scale. Every so often one of the figures towards the edge would rise and produce god awful wailing then get back down again. Some eastern religion for sure but I don't think it was muslims. The shear oddness kept us watching for several minutes. Never know for sure but watching may have saved me from eternal damnation.

No idea, but Kings is one of my favourite types of music, though I am not in any way religious.
They are, without doubt, the best choir of its type in the world.
