On Mothering Sunday everyone in the village is invited to come and join in with the medieval tradition of Clypping . We will come and encircle the Church . The belief is that if the circle is complete , the Church and the village will then be kept safe for that year .
There will be a Mothering Sunday Service afterwards . . . . and Simnel Cake !
I think it is a lovely happy idea !
I didn't think there would be anything more that was happy to add to my embroidered calendar wheel for the month of March ....sigh .... so I was delighted to be able to add this .
I am embroidering it outside the wheel , as I only allowed for three or four little icons inside each month .
It is not the most accurate embroidery of St Mellanus Church , lol ! I know , not in the least , but I will change it as I begin to stitch it a bit more .
