A few words from the Vicar, the Reverend Peter Cameron.

What different pictures the word FEAST paints in different languages!

FIESTA - the Festival Procession of a Patron Saint. If we were of a Mediterranean or Latin-American nation we would be carrying round the village a statue of St Mary Magdalene surrounded by flowers, candles and acolytes, followed by an all-singing all­ dancing procession of the whole community.

Or, FETE. That suggests, in our N. European tradition, the country garden party with strawberries and cream and extra special stalls, enjoyed rather more sedately by the better behaved members of the neighbourhood.

But the same word in English, FEAST, has two meanings: a company or college or council dinner of five courses or more, complete with speeches; or, the VILLAGE FEAST.

Before coming to E. Anglia I had not met this last meaning of FEAST: but there it was, large as life and twice as natural, at Waterbeach (we were at Waterbeach and Landbeach before Good Shepherd, Cambridge before Hilton and Fenstanton) and now here it is at Hilton - the whole village coming together for every kind of enjoyment - including not a little eating and drinking.

What have these Festivals in common? Above all, that we all get together to accept each other, appreciate each other, and enjoy each other's company in all our amazing variety.

God bless us in our Feast this year, and for many years to come.
