Sung Eucharist for Ascension Day at Burham Old Church. Preacher: The Revd. Nicky Rawlins. Ascension day is an important Christian festival celebrating Jesus going to be with the Father in glory. It marks the end of the Easter season, and the beginning of the time of preparation for Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit to the first Christians. It ranks with Christmas, Easter and Pentecost and we are all encouraged to celebrate this feast. In this parish we traditionally do this at St.Mary’s (Burham Old Church)
