‘Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will be my servant also”. Whoever serves me, the Father will honour’ (John 12.26) Today is Passion Sunday, the start of Passiontide which is the two-week period in the Church’s year which leads up to Easter.

Transformations One of the joys in England which takes place in the long, dark period between Christmas and early February is the pantomime. It is a quintessentially English style of play, usually based on one of the classic fairy stores such as Little Red Riding Hood or Jack and the Beanstalk, and characterised with its own very particular style of humour which…
