Here's a few random pics of the Good Friday 'Stations of the Cross' walk and of the 'Renewal of Vows' time on Holy Island on Easter Sunday.
Easter 07 in northumberland!

The 'Stations of the Cross' walk on Good Friday, from the car park at the bottom of the hill, up to Cuthbert's Cave and then on beyond to the summit - where you get great viewsof Holy Island and the coast - is always a special and moving experience.

We were a small crowd this year, as there is no Easter Workshop event at Hetton itself, but it was special nonetheless.

The chidren ran on ahead of the boring, slow adults...and when we arrived at the cave, we were treated to their brief telling of the Easter Story. Marvellous!
And then... the 'tomb' was empty....
Easter Sunday is a time for 'Renewal of Vows' - our saying 'Yes' to the Rule of Availability and Vulnerability. We usually meet around Aidan's statue, to sing and dance 'Christ as a Light' from the office.
'Don't you dare put this on the website...'
This year we went on to the 'Millenium Garden' to say our 'Yes to Community' but I'm afraid I didn't take any photos of that bit. Well, it would have seemed intrusive somehow, and anyway I was too busy praying....
