Plough Sunday

Plough Sunday is a traditional English celebration of the beginning of the agricultural year. Plough Sunday celebrations often involves bringing a ploughshare into church, along with prayers for the blessing of the land. It is traditionally held in the season of Epiphany, Accordingly, work in the fields did not begin until the day after Plough Sunday: Plough Monday. Although the nature of farming has changed over the centuries, Plough Sunday is seen as a way of generally celebrating farming and the work of farmers. As long as the weather is fit, we shall be spending some of the service outside!
