SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANYJANUARY 6th 2026AT QUARR ABBEY As the great feast of Easter has only one set of antiphons for Lauds and Vespers, the solemnities of Christmastide have quite a range of them, from the first Vespers of Nativity until the Baptism of our Lord. All the antiphons of this season are beautiful […]
Easter at Quarr is a good season to learn again that
Flowers open after winter months of apparent death,
Birds sing joyfully as they build new nests for their little ones to come,
Lambs gamble and bleat in the meadows.
Even roads reopen (!) giving access to visitors old and new – all welcome!
Will our hearts open, too,
To make peace after conflicts and wars
To forgive after disputes
To foster every human life from its conception to its natural end,
To bring a smile of hope on all faces around?
“Christ is risen from the dead.”
Happy Easter to you all!
Abbot Xavier and the Community
