My own well-being is about more than just what I myself contribute. I live in a world in which others are a source of food, transportation, health care, and safety. Knowing this is so, I pray a prayer of inclusion, knowing that others, as well as myself, further my well-being at home, far away, and all places in between. Thank God for all those who plan for, supply, or pre- pare nutritious food, pure water, abundant energy, safe travel, clean streets, and so much more. Remembering them in my prayers, I envision them in an environment that is peaceful and secure at all times. I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now."--Philippians 1:3-5 7 ST. VALENTINE’S DAY 14th February Historically there are three Saints Valentines listed in early martyrolo- gies for the date of February 14. Their feasts have become united over the centuries in a celebration to honor lovers perhaps more by accident than by design. The Roman festival of Lupercalia was celebrated on this day and it is thought that the early Christians sought to redeem this day by fixing it as the date of the martyrs‘ feast. Pope Gelasius appointed it an offi- cial feast in the fifth century and named St. Valentine as the patron saint of lovers. In our time St. Valentine‘s Day is a good day for talking to children about the reality of Christian love and for stressing its beauty and strength in a time when it tends to be ignored and undervalued. As anyone who has ever received one will testify, a genuine loving valentine is a lovely thing to have. Although the commercial pres- sures on ‗Valentine‘s Day‘ (they forget the ‗Saint‘) can seem shallow, it is surely good to see people sending loving messages to each other. Shrove Tuesday What is this anyway?? In the UK, Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day or Pancake Tuesday because it is the one day of the year when almost everyone eats a pan- cake. Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) is the last day before the period which Christians call Lent. The name Shrove comes from the old word "shrive" which means to confess. On Shrove Tuesday, in the Middle Ages, people used to confess their sins so that they were for- given before the season of Lent began. Shrove Tues- day is a day of celebration as well as penitence. Lent is a time of abstinence, of giving things up. So Shrove Tuesday is the last chance to indulge yourself, and to use up the foods that aren't allowed in Lent, Con’t 13 8 FEBRUARY—-2009 Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Methodist Friendship EFM 9:AM Groundhog Dinner Episcopal Day 5-7pm 5-7 pm 101—7pm 8 9 10 11 EFM 9:AM 12 13 14 Services * Weight Vestry 8 &10 am Watchers 5pm Episcopal (to be VALENTINE’S EFM 9:AM 101 - 7pm Announced) DAY 15 16 17 14 EFM 9:AM 19 20 21 Services * Weight 8 &10 am Watchers 5pm Episcopal 101 - 7pm 22 23 24 25 EFM 9:AM 26 23 28 Services 8 & Shrove Tues- Prayer shawl Youth Quest day Pancake 10 Episcopal gathering Arena 4: 30- 7pm 101 - 7pm 1pm 7:00pm * non church related activi- 9 FEBRUARY—-2009 Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Methodist Friendship EFM 9:AM Groundhog Dinner Episcopal Day 5-7pm 5-7 pm 101—7pm 8 9 10 11 EFM 9:AM 12 13 14 Services * Weight Vestry 8 &10 am Watchers 5pm Episcopal (to be VALENTINE’S EFM 9:AM 101 - 7pm Announced) DAY 15 16 17 14 EFM 9:AM 19 20 21 Services * Weight 8 &10 am Watchers 5pm Episcopal 101 - 7pm 22 23 24 25 EFM 9:AM 26 23 28 Services 8 & Shrove Tues- Prayer shawl Youth Quest day Pancake 10 Episcopal gathering Arena 4: 30- 7pm 101 - 7pm 1pm 7:00pm * non church related activi- 10 Servants in His Service January 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 2008 Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Altar Early Early Early Early Early Guild B.

  • 3/3/17 the Carnival of Binche the Carnival of Binche Is a World
    3/3/17 The Carnival of Binche The Carnival of Binche is a world renowned celebration that begins preparation at Christmas and ends with parades, fireworks, dancing and more from Sunday (6 weeks before Ash Wednesday) to the Shrove days. During the pre-festival activities, there are drum rehearsals, music rehearsals, balls, and lots of costumes. On Shrove Sunday, the Gilles, Peasants, Pierrots, and Alequins wear an elaborate costume that had been secretly planned months before (“Carnival de Binche”). Shrove Monday is dedicated to children, and is famous for confetti fights. There is also dancing, drum and viola music, parades, and fireworks. Finally, Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday) is the finale of the celebrations. On this day, Gilles parade around the town with their red, black, and yellow costumes and famous wax masks in the morning. In the afternoon, they parade again without the masks, but this time wearing huge ostrich-plumed hats and throwing oranges. This is the day for family, and there is lots of dancing as well as the famous fireworks to end the festival. The History of the Binche Carnival It is thought that this Carnival dates back to the 1400's, but may have even began in pagan times. One theory about its beginnings is that "the Catholic Church turned a blind eye to a bit of debauchery, after a period of fasting" (Alison, Cheesweb). However, because no one really knows how the Carnival de Binche really started, people have enjoyed making up legends. One of the most famous ones is that the Gille's costumes is based off of Incas who were dancing for the Hungarian Royal Court.

  • Shrove-Tide Dancing: Balls and Masques at Whitehall Under Charles II
    Sandra Tuppen Shrove-tide Dancing: Balls and Masques at Whitehall under Charles II Accepted manuscript of an article published in The Court Historian: the International Journal of Court Studies, Vol. 15/2 (2010), 157-169. Abstract: The tradition of the Shrove-tide court entertainment with dancing and music, strong in the first half of the seventeenth century in England, was restored with the monarchy in the 1660’s. Shrove-tide masques, balls and plays, along with dishes of pancakes and fritters, remained a feature of the court calendar to the end of Charles II’s reign. As well as borrowing elements from the Jacobean court masque, some of the entertainments presented before Charles II were modelled on French entertainments staged for Louis XIV. John Blow’s court opera Venus and Adonis may have received its first performance at a Shrove-tide event in 1682/3. ___________________________________________ In England in the first half of the seventeenth century, elaborate masques – theatrical entertainments featuring music, dancing, lavish costumes and often complex stage machinery – were habitually staged at court on Twelfth Night, and sometimes also on Shrove Monday or Tuesday.1 During the reign of Charles I, it became common for the King to stage the Twelfth-Night masque in honour of the Queen, and for the Queen to 1 Ben Jonson’s Masque of Blackness, for example, was performed on Twelfth Night (6 January) in 1604/5; his Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue was performed both on Twelfth Night and on Shrove Tuesday (17 February) in 1617/18. 1 reciprocate
