A musical Sunday service at Blue Hills Unitarian-Universalist
fellowship will be offered through the talents of FEBRUARY SKY, folksingers
Phil Cooper & Susan Urban. “Hearken Now, the Darkness Comes”, a celebration
of the last-harvest holiday of Samhain will begin at 10:00 a.m., October 13th. In the course of the service, ancient
traditions are observed in reflection of their significance in our modern
lives.
The Celtic word “Samhain” means “summer’s end”, a holiday noting the
beginning of winter and a time for giving thanks for a good harvest, and also
the time of year when the veil between the worlds of the living and dead is said
to be the thinnest. The dead are invited
back for loving remembrance, so all are invited to bring a photo or memento of a
departed loved one to place on our Samhain altar.
