Description

Besides the religious aspect to the Easter celebrations.  Floral decorations have additionally been very much part of tradition.  Easter time marks the start of spring and apart from using spring flowers, the Easter lily (Lilium longiflorum) is also used in the decoration of the church. The sanctuary colours for Easter being white and gold.

The flowers at St. Andrew’s were arranged by myself and various other volunteers from the Parish, some of whom are regular church flower arrangers.  Daffodils, pussy willow and forsythia were kindly donated from the gardens of each vounteer for use in the window decorations.  White lilies, lisianthus and forsythia were used in the altar and pedestal arrangements.
