 Stir up Sunday\n\nThe collect in the Book of Common Prayer for the last\nS
 unday before Advent begins….Stir up we beseech\nthee……and in days go
 ne by was a gentle reminder\nthat it was time to make and cook the pudding
  ready\n\nfor Christmas Day.\n\nFamilies gathered together to mix and stea
 m the\npudding. Everyone took a turn to stir the mixture\n(thirteen ingred
 ients representing Jesus and his\ntwelve disciples) and make a special wis
 h for the year\nahead. By tradition the pudding was stirred from East\nto 
 West in honour of the three Wise Men who visited\n\nthe baby Jesus from th
 e east.\n\nIt is sad that very few children and young people know\nof this
  custom any more as it is quicker\, easier and\ncosts no more\, to buy rea
