Our ‘Coronation Tea Party’ held on Monday 8 May attracted 60 guests and raised some 600 euros for our church funds. Held in the gardens of one of our parishioners, the guests enjoyed a magnificent spread including sandwiches, savouries, scones, various cakes and a special ‘Coronation Cake’. The weather was kind with sunshine, cloudless skies and a gentle breeze.
St Luke’s Church, Prodromi, hosted a party of 22 Pilgrims from Finland at their morning service on Sunday 7 May. The groups’ pilgrimage covered the whole of Cyprus and Polis/Prodromi was their final destination. Following the service they enjoyed refreshments and fellowship with members of St Luke’s regular congregation.
Also during May, we held our annual Ascension Day Communion Service and lunch in Pykni Forest and a Charity Variety Show entitled ‘For One Night Only’ held at the Stage One Theatre, Emba. As these events occurred after PALS copy closing date, there will be a full report, with photos, in the August edition.
Sunday 4 June is Trinity Sunday and will be celebrated at our three churches with Holy Communion at all of their morning services and a Communion service at 6.00pm at Ayia Kyriaki. Trinity Sunday is a Christian festival widely celebrated by Western Churches. It falls on the first Sunday after Pentecost, which is the 50th day after Easter. Trinity Sunday, in its essence, celebrates the mystery of faith and unity on and of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is not mentioned in Scripture, but Christians belonging to Western Churches celebrate it and God’s love for humans because of their faith and utmost appreciation for the Trinity itself. Many Western Churches celebrate the occasion with symbols of fire, wind, and a dove.
