DESCRIPTION:Joins us in the Cathedral for the Eucharist on Sunday 14 April
 \, 09.45  sung by the Guildford Cathedral Singers\n\nEASTERTIDE\nThe Great
  Fifty Days of Eastertide form a single festival period in which the tone 
 of joy created at the Easter Vigil is sustained through the following seve
 n weeks\, and the Church celebrates the gloriously risen Christ. \n\nEarly
  Christians gave the name Pentecost to this whole fifty-day span. In those
  places where the custom of lighting the Easter Candle at the beginning of
  Easter is followed\, the lit Candle stands prominently in church for all 
 the Eastertide services. The Alleluia appears frequently in liturgical spe
 ech and song and the gold and white vestments along with the decoration of
  churches and fresh flowers after the austerity of Lent emphasize the joy 
 and brightness of the season.\n\nOn the fortieth day there has\, from the 
 late fourth century\, been a particular celebration of Christ’s ascensio
 n. He commissions his disciples to continue his work\, he promises the gif
 t of the Holy Spirit\, and then he is no longer among them in the flesh. T
 he ascension is therefore closely connected with the theme of mission. The
  arrival of the promised gift of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost c
 ompletes and crowns the Easter Festival.\n\n\nMASS SETTING \nCommunion Ser
 vice in E Harold Darke (1888-1976)\n\nPRESIDENT AND PREACHER The president
  this morning is the Interim Dean\, Venerable Stuart Beake and the preache
 r is Reverend Canon Rachel Young.
