Easter Candle Blessing and Egg Hunt

for 45 mins
Milton Abbot Parish Church of St Constantine and St Aegidius
Milton Abbot Tavistock, PL19 0PA, United Kingdom

We'll be outdoors for this one - in front of the church at Milton Abbot. It's a short service where traditionally the Holy Oils left over from last year are burnt, and the first lighting of the big Easter Candle takes place. A really good start to the Easter celebrations!
