‘Tradition! Tradition!’ Who
remembers Topol singing these words in the musical ‘Fiddler on the Roof’? His
character was somewhat perplexed at all the changes taking place in his
community & the world around him - making him question everything he believed.
On the 22nd of this month
it will be Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, which is preceded by
Shrove Tuesday…..often referred to as Pancake Day or even as a day
named after a certain brand of lemon juice! However you think of it, making
pancakes on Shrove Tuesday is one tradition that most of us enjoy! However, it
seems to be one of our traditions that has changed from a once a year
occurrence to any time of year – think of Easter eggs available just
after Christmas or hot cross buns constantly on the supermarket shelf!
Whatever the tradition that seems to
have ‘lost its way’, let’s make a point of remembering the real reason
behind them: preparation for Lent (pancakes), the Crucifixion (hot cross buns)
and the Resurrection (eggs as a sign of new life)!
Welcome to the "Exning
with Landwade website" ... which we launched in March 2008.
We hope this will be of interest to:
People living in the
Exning & Newmarket area who may want to know more about the churches in
their area, what goes on, when services take place, who to contact etc
Those living away from the
area who may have family or church links and are interested in recent
events and want to make a "virtual visit" to Exning
Those who have past family
links and are trying to check on information on those who are buried in
the Churchyard
... and of course those
who are members of the church family who want to keep up to date with
events
