Happy 1st May! Historically, this is a time of year when we herald the start of the summer season – and that was certainly the case this morning at 8am: the sun was gloriously shining as we gathered atop St Mary’s Church Tower. Special thanks to the Chapel Choir for singing some beautiful madrigals which were topped & tailed with prayers for the school community & town.
What are ‘May Madrigals’? Originating in Oxford, they are an ancient tradition where church choirs sing from atop their church’s tower on the morning of 1st May to mark the seasons changing from winter through to spring and summer. A fab chance to pause from the busyness of school life and give thanks to God for the arrival of warmer seasons and all the life that comes with them. As Psalm 74 says, “It was you [God] who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.”
