Saturday, 3 April - 10am to 3pm at Auckley Parish Centre

Main Street, Auckley Refreshments in aid of church funds

Large Selection of Locally Grown Plants from £1.00

Editors Letter...

This warmer weather most certainly

motivates you to consider the outdoor

life we‘d almost forgotten—the garden!

We are tempted with the thoughts of

warm summer evenings with a glass of

your favourite tipple, enjoying friends

company as the light evenings last until

10pm.

But, as we all know, to really appreciate this

time, the garden needs some work, no matter

how low maintenance it may be! This long

cold winter has taken it‘s toll.

As you can see from the advert to the left of

this page, Auckley Parish Centre will be

hosting a garden sale on 3rd April, this is a

fabulous opportunity to stock up your

borders with local plants, flowers and shrubs,

as well as help towards the Parish Hall fund.

Green thumb are at hand to sort out any

troublesome lawns or even just to help

maintain the good one you may be lucky

enough to have. Before you know it, your

garden will be looking ship shape.

Talking about flowers, this is one of the first

months since we started ‗Flowers for

Someone Special‘ that we are without a

nomination. I know so many people who

deserve a bouquet, so please, let me have

your nominations in time for the May issue.

If you are off on holiday over the Easter

period, make sure you check Tina G‘s packing

with confidence feature, especially now that

the airlines charge for luggage!

The deadline for the May issue is Wednesday

17th April. I hope everyone has an enjoyable

Easter break—a bit of advice from a

chocoholic, try not to eat too many eggs!

Happy Easter

Ethiopia, so much more than you see

on T.V.

At our February meeting we had a very

entertaining and informative slide show and talk

from Giles Braithwaite on his adventures in the

fascinating country of Ethiopia.

His journey took him to areas of historical and

religious significance where we had glimpses of the

beauty and culturally rich Coptic Christian

churches carved deep into the granite of the

mountains, then on to very differing climatic parts

of the country.

We saw high mountains areas where he woke to

ice and hard frosts, valleys green with running

water and dry parched stretches of the country.

All the time he introduced the many different life

forms that each area supported and that he had so

wanted to see, insects, birds with strange and

comical names,foxes, monkeys, baboons and

camels.

He talked of his pleasure at meeting and inter-

acting with the people and their curiosity about

him and his cameras, telescope, binoculars etc.

while keeping us amused with tales of some of his

minor mishaps.

All in all we had a very interesting afternoon,

carried along by his obvious enthusiasm for all he

had been able to see and do.

As mentioned in last month’s Arrow, why don't you join

us for our next meeting, Tuesday 30th of March,

1.45p.m. in Finningley Village hall, when we shall be

opening up a reminiscence box from Doncaster

Museum Service. Curious? Come along and see what

memories it provokes in you.


Conservative Candidate gets out and about in

Branton and Auckley

Matt Stephens, the new conservative candidate for the Don Valley constituency, standing against Labour‘s

high profile MP Caroline Flint, is basing himself in Hatfield for the duration of the campaign – expected to

end on polling day May 6th.

In the last month he has been door knocking across Don Valley including in Branton and Auckley. This

listening exercise has brought to light resident feelings on issues such as immigration where the message

has come through loud and clear that voters feel central government has failed to heed their concerns

over the influx of immigrants into Britain. ―The sheer number of people and the different nationalities are

overwhelming our public services― he says ―It‘s not a racist issue – it‘s a leadership issue‖.

People tell me they are angry with the Leadership of this Government for not being more like the Aussies,

careful of who they choose to come to the country and strong on the message that they are coming to

Britain which means they will need to speak English and live within out values and culture. What makes

them so disappointed and so angry is that no-one has been listening to them.‖

Educated at Garforth Comprehensive and Lancaster University where he studied politics and international

affairs, his first task was to set up his own business in York and having seen young people at a loose end –

he also set up a highly successful youth activity programme –Global York. With no background in active

politics he took on the challenge of overturning an 8,000 Labour majority because he sees the seat as

―winnable‖.

―I was so fed up with what has been happening over three Labour terms of office and things going from

bad to worse, I decided it was time to stand up and be counted. On my door stepping campaign I have

discovered a lot of people with the same feelings – often of outrage, feeling they have been conned – and

they have promised me their support.

He sees Don Valley the election as a two-horse race – ―Any vote other than for me is in effect a vote for

Labour. ―He stresses ―In this election is no place for the traditional protest vote. We have to save the

country from another four years of clunking fist of top down Labour government‖

Twitters emails and blogs play a big part in his communications strategy – for more information it‘s

Every time my dog gets out of its basket, it has wet its

basket. Is this bladder control? What can we do to

prevent or help this situation? Claire from Hatfield

Urinary incontinence can occur in male and female dogs of all ages but especially when

they get older. To get an accurate diagnosis, a veterinary surgeon would need to examine

your dog and get a urine sample to check for other signs of illness. If it is incontinence due

to age or a weak bladder then tablets or drops can be prescribed to help

reduce and make them feel much better as most dogs get quite upset

when they are used to be being quite clean.

How often should I bath my dog? P M from

Hatfield

This can vary depending on whether your dog has a skin problem that

may need regular bathing with a prescribed

shampoo or treatment. If this is the case,

then advice on the number of times will be

given under the vet‘s direction. If it‘s just for

grooming and cleanliness, as long as a dog

shampoo is used and rinsed off well then it

can be done once a week, remembering to

dry your pet well after bathing, especially in

cold weather conditions. Muddy paws can be

cleaned more often!

Your concerns are our priorities!

Did you know that every community in Doncaster has a team dedicated to policing your

neighbourhood?

Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT) were introduced two years ago to provide a local

policing service in the heart of communities. The teams were set up in partnership and

consist of police officers and council staff, who work with other agencies to focus on the

needs of the local communities in Doncaster.

The SNT‘s hold regular monthly community meetings and invite you, the community, to

have your say and express any concerns or issues you have in your neighbourhood.

In the South SNT‘s community meetings, concerns were raised about anti social behaviour and young

people gathering on the streets at night.

To tackle this concern, Operation Staysafe was set up to focus on young people who were out on the

streets at night, who were at possible risk of becoming involved, or could become a victim of, antisocial

behaviour and crime.

The operation took place on 27 February from 6pm to midnight. The SNT officers worked in partnership

with Youth Services and patrolled Rossington, Cantley, Bessacarr, Tickhill, Bawtry, Wadworth, Auckley

and surrounding villages, and interacted with any young people that were out on the streets.

Over 60 young people were spoken to on the night and signposted to diversionary activities and help and

advice that was available to them during the evenings.

Sergeant t Russ Higham said ―The operation was a great success and working in partnership we are able

to tackle this concern by engaging with the young people and directing them to activities and advice

available. We will be conducting further operations like this to aid in tackling this concern. ―

Over the years, this place has been very important to people, especially recently for the huge gathering for

the funeral of Barbara Siddons. A lovely lady who will be sorely missed by many, particularly the ladies

fellowship of the church. This lively group, around 25

strong, meets every Tuesday afternoon at 1.45pm

and Barbara organised their much appreciated

outings and Christmas meals for many years. Any

lady looking for friendship, stimulating speakers, a

good cup of tea and biscuits will be made very

welcome. This year, they celebrate their 20th

Anniversary.

We also invite you to our church services every

Sunday at 6.30pm and on 2nd Sunday of the month at

10.30am. You will find genuine friendliness, we have

an excellent old pipe organ, a first class organist and

deputy and we love to sing!

To help with our running costs from time to time we

arrange fund raising events and on 24th April at

Cantley Methodist Church, we have again secured

the services of Tickhill and district Male Voice Choir

to perform in concert. All the profits from this

evening will be for Auckley Chapel, anyone who

attended the choir‘s concerts last year, will know we

are in for a great evening. So thanks again to Auckley

All 4 All and success to them in all the good work

they do. We look forward to welcoming you either

at the ladies fellowship, at one of our services or

both!

Margaret & Geoff Heath.

Then in 1982, an

extension was added

at the rear

to provide room for a

Sunday school and

much

needed facilities

installed. Prior to that

date there

had been no running water on the premises, it was at this time, the church was painted it‘s now familiar

red.

On behalf of Auckley Methodist Chapel I would like

to thank Auckley All 4 All for their very

kind gift of £200 for our chapel funds.

The church has been at the centre of village life since

1832 when Auckley was just a small farming

community and the building was surrounded

by fields. Originally the outside was

plain red brick, later this was rendered

and painted white.

Proposed Gating of Common Lane, Auckley In an effort to eradicate fly tipping and other ant-social activities occurring along

Common Lane, DMBC's Neighbourhood Team, supported by local landowners

including the Parish Council, is to apply for the rural part of the lane to be gated

at both ends. This will restrict vehicular access but will allow pedestrians and

horses to gain entrance to the lane.

An Easter Break

Planned?

Pack with

confidence With Tina G

Refer to this list as a guide for creating your

perfect 'capsule wardrobe' for any holiday.

Deciding what to take is always difficult, but

versatility is key; so take outfits and shoes that

can be dressed up and down to fit all of the

scenarios of the trip.

Here goes...

Underwear - for each day. Flesh-

coloured are perfect and go under any colour

clothing. Take one multi-way bra to ensure it can

always be altered to suit the top half of your outfit.

Flattering pair of boot-cut jeans – dark denim

or black

One pair of trousers - the lighter the better for

hotter climates, thicker for cooler destinations.

One pair of shorts - knee length and tailored.

These can be dressed down with ballet pumps or

flip-flops, or worn with killer heels for the evening.

A dress - make it versatile, something you can

wear sightseeing, but also dress up to dine out in

the evenings. Maxi skirt or dress can be worn as

beachwear cover-ups or dressed up in the evening.

One skirt – that can be mixed and matched with

your tops.

Three plain tops - natural fabrics are best; one in

each of your 3 favourite colours.

One cool kaftan - great as a cover-up on the

beach, but also great for day or evening with your

lightweight trousers or jeans dressed up or down

depending on where you are going.

Two casual tops - a crisp white shirt would tie in

well here, as would a short-sleeved cotton or silk

tunic, or cashmere or light wool for cooler

weather. Crinkle-effect clothing is a great solution

to the age-old problem of creases. Monsoon image courtesy of pr shots.com

Don‘t take

everything with you

―just in case‖!

‗Remember, only choose

pieces you feel gorgeous in

and if you don't wear it at home,

don't take it on holiday!‘

Two evening tops - choose something in your

strongest, favourite colours.

One lightweight smart cardigan - a simple way

to cover-up when the sun goes down. White will

make it very versatile… and chic!

One Jacket - lightweight and not easily creased;

this is a staple for cooler destinations

Two sarongs – take up very little room and you

can wear as an evening cover-up, or skirt-style on

the beach, or to cover your shoulders on cultural

visits. Visit www.baliwear.com to see how to tie a

sarong to create different looks or try

www.saress.com for an alternative to the usual

sarong!!

Swimwear - 2 bikinis and a one-piece swimsuit,

or the versatile tankini which can do the job of

both (and also double up as a vest top!

One pair of comfy flats – flip flops for the beach

or open toe sandals or pumps.

A pair of fabulous flip-flops - jewelled are fun

Cork and cut-out wedges are versatile and light-

weight. Perfect for both day and evening outfits.

Remember, just one of these!

One pair of heels or sparkly sandals – these

alone will accessorise and dress up an evening

outfit.

Accessories - will transform even the sim-

plest outfit. Pack less and accessorise to vary your

look with fewer clothes!

Sunglasses - in one of this season's fashion styles,

make sure you feel comfortable in them, (i.e. not

too large for your face).

Statement jewellery - never underestimate how

a statement piece can transform an outfit, and

remember bright accessories show off a tan. Items

must be bold in colour and chunky, multicoloured

beads are perfect and embellished bib necklaces

are everywhere this season. For day wear carved

wrist cuffs and bangles are a great way to add col-

our to an outfit.

Belt - wide and dramatic to dress up your kaftan,

or narrow and elegant to finish your tailored

shorts and crisp white shirt look perfectly.

Hat to protect you from the sun during the day

A large canvas bag - with plenty of room for all

your day trip essentials and doubled up as hand

luggage.

A simple clutch bag - for evening do‘s, why not

get a travel wallet that can double up as a clutch?

Pashmina/wrap - may be old hat in the fashion

world but they are essential for travelling. Make a

colourful wrap on to the plane to keep you warm,

and then wear it in the evenings. Also, to cover

shoulders if you're travelling to countries where

this is a cultural expectation.

A light-weight, belted Mac or waterproof

Final tip: Clever layering is one way to get around

changeable weather conditions.

Have a fab holiday

News from Branton St

Wilfrid’s C.E. Primary School

‘World Wide Week’

In February we held a „World Wide‟ curriculum

focus week, with the aim to broaden children‟s

knowledge and understanding of different

countries and cultures across the world. Each

class chose a different country to learn about:

Peru-Class R enjoyed finding out about Peru

because one of our favourite book characters,

Paddington Bear, came from „Darkest Peru‟.

Class R conducted surveys of their favourite

sandwiches (his were marmalade!), made some of their own and as part of Design Technology they

made Paddington a waterproof coat. Class R also made their own Peruvian pan pipes to use in

movement and dance.

Mexico-Class 1 found out about the country of Mexico. This included learning a bit about „The

Aztecs,‟ trying to speak some Spanish and tasting some traditional Mexican foods during a „fiesta‟

at the end of the week.

France-Class 2 explored France and its traditions through many fun activities e.g. re-creating

Monet pictures, flag making and musical sessions. Class 2 tried out their French in many lessons,

including Maths! They certainly enjoyed a French breakfast, sampling a range of traditional foods

such as croissants.

Italy-Class 3 looked at maps, photographs etc. to find out how Italian children live and what their

schools are like. Children also looked at Italian art and architecture.

India-Class 4 are studying India as their topic this term, so „World Wide‟ Week enabled some

wider study. Class 4 enjoyed a dance workshop led by Satnam Singh, they made some delicious

Indian food (which I enjoyed tasting!), read an Indian myth in Literacy, looked at facts and

figures about climate in Maths and learned a bit about words and language. One of our parents

kindly visited school to lead a

workshop session about Indian

weddings.

When Mr Singh came to

school by Mollie, Class 4

I was really excited when Mrs

Neville said we had a special

visitor today and then we went

into the hall and it was Mr

Singh. Mr Singh came to show

us Indian dancing and drums.

He played the drums for a

while and then we did some

amazing Indian dances. After

playtime we saw the big Dholl

again, and it was extremely

loud!

Hindu Weddings by Oliver, Class 4

On the 10th March we learned about Hindu weddings. Some people got dressed up in the Indian

clothes. I was a page boy with Rahul. The girls dressed up in the wedding dress which was a

blouse and a skirt. You go round a fire seven times at a Hindu wedding for good luck. When Kings

and Queens get married at a Hindu wedding they come on an elephant. For normal people the

groom comes on a horse. They have mango leaves over their head for a sign of good luck. Thank

you to Mrs Dutt for coming in to lead our session.

Spain-Class 5 worked in groups used computers to research tourism, sport, home life and

education, industry, shopping and food. In Food Technology Class 5 baked a traditional Spanish

cake and, in Art, drawing was in the style of Picasso. Class 5 used their debating skills to discuss

the tradition of bull fighting and they wrote persuasive letters to support their arguments. Class

5 also researched Flamenco dancing and Spanish music.

Australia-Class 6 looked at the Australian climate, flora and fauna, famous people and places.

They learned about the Aborigines and tried some Aboriginal art.

Inclusion Charter Mark Success

We are pleased to share that we

have achieved Doncaster‟s Charter

Mark for Inclusion. This award is

given to schools that can

demonstrate consistently good

practice in meeting the needs of

different children. We took part in a

vigorous assessment process, which

involved evaluating our practice

against the 55 Charter Mark

standards, and an assessment visit

from the Local Authority Inclusion

team who reviewed our policies,

records and procedures and talked

to different staff, children and

parents.

We visited the Mansion House in

February to collect our certificate

and the children enjoyed their tour

of the Mansion House afterwards.

Visit from Mayflower Animal

Sanctuary

The children in Class R were very

excited to welcome some special

visitors from the Mayflower Animal

Sanctuary, as part of their Animals

topic. Volunteers from the

Mayflower Sanctuary brought in a

very cute puppy, two kittens and a

rabbit.

Cont. p34


From p33...The children were very interested

to learn about the work of the charity and find

out about the care of animals.

Our very calm animal visitors seemed to thor-

oughly enjoy the fuss and attention given to

them by our children! Following the visit we

received a lovely letter from the staff at the

Mayflower Sanctuary thanking school for the

donation of £100 towards the valuable work of

this charity which relies entirely on charitable

donations.

Class 5 visit Gainsborough Old Hall

Class 5 visited Gainsborough Old Hall as part of our studies of Tudor Life. We began with a tour

of the hall, including role play in the kitchen, where we were kept busy with many jobs. We visited

the bedrooms where King Henry V111 stayed with Queen Katherine Howard and learned how the

Lord of the Hall had his own

buffet cupboard for when

he wanted a “midnight

feast!” We then dressed up

to take part in a mock Tudor

banquet, re-enacting the

roles of the servers, acro-

bats, jugglers, jesters,

dancers and the very impor-

tant “top table” guests,

including King Henry. We

enjoyed visiting the exhibi-

tion of Tudor clothing and

jewellery alongside our very

important visit to the shop,

which is always an essential

part of visits! The children

were very well behaved and

the guides complimented

them on their knowledge of

the Tudor period.

As you can see from the

above, we have had a very

busy month at Branton St

Wilfrid‟s and we have many

Easter activities before the

end of term!

Happy Easter! Well the sun has been shining at last and it feels as though spring has

finally sprung! I hope everyone has a great Easter break and that the sun continues to

shine as we embark on our summer term.

Tag Rugby Success Congratulations to our team of Year 5 and 6 children (aka Auckley Warriors!) who, having come

first in the Hayfield Pyramid Tag Rugby Tournament earlier this year, went on to win the

Doncaster tournament. All the children played really well and were a credit to the school. The

team were well supported by parents and thanks must go to Dave Wade and Richard Sladdin in

particular for their continuing help and support.

Auckley Warriors will now go through to the South Yorkshire finals in Barnsley – good luck

everyone!

Year 6 Film Making Day Lights, camera, action! And the

Oscar goes to... Well, not quite

Oscar material but Year 6 had a

brilliant day at Balby City Learning

Centre making their own film - in

French!! The children had a tour of

the TV studio and were shown how a

film is recorded as well as spending

time to rehearsing for their debut.

They all worked really hard and are

looking forward to seeing their film

when it is released!

Fair Trade Fortnight As part of their work in RE and

Global Citizenship, Year 6 have

been learning about Fair Trade

and this coincided nicely with

Fair Trade Fortnight. We were

privileged to have the company

of Kate Heywood, a former

teacher and fair trader, who

gave the class a very enlightening

talk about fair trade and the

work of Traidcraft in particular.

Aliens invade Foundation! One ordinary Friday morning

something strange happened in

Foundation – all the children

disappeared and were replaced by visitors from outer space! Or so we thought... On closer

inspection we realised it was only the nursery and reception children dressed up as aliens to

celebrate the end of their topic on transport (the children were particularly interested in rockets

and other planets, hence the aliens in case anyone was having trouble with the connection!). The

role play area was transformed into a spaceship and the children had great fun using computers to

produce pictures of rockets and aliens.


Local History and Country Notes Compiled by Brian Tansey F.R.G.S.

34 Springwood Close, Branton, Doncaster, DN3 3UD

Tel: 01302 534959 E Mail: [email protected]

In this issue we are looking at the ancient Village of Finningley. During our Pre-History Period (period

prior to the keeping of any form of written records, other than in the form of rock art) some 1800 years

ago the whole of this geographical region from the western edge of Doncaster extending well into North

Lincolnshire to the East and touching the Northern edge of Nottinghamshire was under up to 30 feet of

water, an area which is now known as Lake Humber to Geologists studying the past of our region. As we

know man has continued to drain the land around our villages for agricultural use, from historical times till

quite recently. Records tell us that even in 1626 there was apparently a large shallow lake to the East of

Finningley and that ferry boats operated between it and the Isle of Axholme. To date I have not been able

to pin point exactly where the lake edge

was or where the Ferry Boats would

have worked from in Finningley.

Archaeological finds in the Finningley

area indicate that there was some form

of settlement here in the pre-history

period. There are a number of

archaeological artefacts in the Doncaster

Museum that were found in the

Finningley area, two of which are spear

heads. Axe heads are quite common

finds in the locality, as too are flints etc.

The Doncaster Museum states that ‗Early

Bronze Age people lived in small

farmsteads, usually in river valleys where

the soil was fertile and drained freely.‘

As we know Finningley has two rivers

(waterways) close by, the River Torne

and the River Idle, and that Finningley

itself almost certainly had such a

settlement as described by the Museum

Service, the finds would certainly suggest

such.

Boats such as these (photographed

above) would almost certainly have been

used in and around the waterways of

Finningley Village during the Bronze and

Iron Ages.

This hand drawn map to the right was

done by John Rhodes in 1711 based on a

survey carried out by Jofias Arclebone in

1639. You might note that only six

houses are shown, each with a chimney,

however I would suspect that this image

only indicates a number of houses and

that its possible there were a few more.

At that time Finningley was part of the

Manor of Hatfield Chase.

In the 1800s Finningley may have still been a

part of Manor of Hatfield Chase, but the

local Lord of the Manor was it appears a

John Harvey who lived in Finningley Manor

House which was located I believe in the

centre of what is now the Robin Hood

Airport Runway. At that time Finningley was

in the County of Nottinghamshire, not

Yorkshire.

The name Finningley has changed over the

years, in the Doomsday Book it appears as

Finiglei circ 1086. In 1175 it became

Feningelay. A.D.Mills (Local Historian) says

that the interpretation of both these names

mean, ‗Woodland clearing of the dwellers of

the Fen‘. This of course fits in with what we

know, since this area was fenland until it was

drained in the 16th century until recent

times. The Doomsday Book tells us that in 1086 this area belonged to a Gilbert Tison.

‗In Finningley Swein had 6 bovates of land to the geld. There is land for 3 ploughs. There Gilbert has half a

plough, and 15 villans and 4 bordars having five half ploughs. There is woodland pasture 2 leagues long and

2 broad‘.

Interpretation

Bovate = means Ox or an area that can be ploughed by an Ox. Geld = means the English Land Tax. Villan means = A peasant of higher economic status than a Bordar. Bordar = means a Cottager of lower economic status than a Villan.

Mirror, Mirror... Dear Readers, Do you remember the old mantra ―mirror, signal, manoeuvre‖?

Experienced drivers develop their mirror skills to the next level, by ―scanning‖ and even using a glance

over their shoulder to remove the dreaded ―blind spot‖.

―Scanning‖ mirrors involves checking all three mirrors in sequence, starting with one side mirror, then

checking the interior mirror and finally finishing on the other side mirror.

To be consistent and effective, you should use all the information that is available to you when you are

driving.

Things change quickly, particularly in a busy urban environment and you want the best information you can

get (i.e. the most recent) before you commit to a manoeuvre

If we take signalling as an example, ideally all three mirrors should be checked before you apply the

indicator. So, if you are going to signal to the right, you start with the right exterior mirror, then the

interior mirror, the left exterior and finally the right exterior again.

The reason we finish there is that this is the direction you intend to go and so it will let you know if it

actually safe to put on the indicator. You might want to delay a moment perhaps to let another road user

react to your intentions.

On the other hand, if you were signalling to the left,

you would start with the left exterior mirror, the

interior, the right exterior and back to the left

exterior before applying the indicator.

As you start your turn, another quick glance in the

relevant mirror is reassuring.

When changing lanes, it is a good idea to get into the

habit of supplementing the mirror scan with a right

shoulder check, which assures you that there is

nothing ―sitting‖ in your blind spot, moving along at a

similar speed to you and so remaining undetected. A

fast moving motorbike will be picked up by this

glance, even if your mirror check a moment earlier

failed to pick up that the rider was changing lanes

and overtaking at the same time.

These shoulder checks should be no more than a

glance, however: your primary attention must be on

the road ahead. Advanced driver‘s even use a left

shoulder check to keep an eye out for bicycles.

If you are interested in further information regarding

the courses that we offer you will be able to find this

information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists

website at www.iam.org.uk or Tel:020 8996 9600. Safe Driving.

A Different Perspective

It comes around each year, at a slightly different time,

and it‘s quite familiar. So this year I invite you to read

the Easter story from a slightly different perspective…

You’re restless. You haven’t slept for 3 days. Your eyes are

red from your tears. It’s still dark, but you can’t wait any

longer. You must go to him. You collect the ointments and

spices you’ll use to anoint his body, and slip quietly out of

the house. The sun is rising now, but the ground is still wet

with dew. You hurry through the streets of the city, hiding

your face with your scarf. There is still tension; fear and

suspicion hang in the air. You hurry faster.

As you reach the outskirts and slow a little. You begin to

think about the task ahead. It isn’t a pleasant task. It’s one you never imagined you would be doing. You couldn’t

imagine him dying. He was the centre of your life. Nothing makes sense without him.

You think back to the day you first met him. When he saw you, amongst all those crowds… All you wanted to do

was get to know this man – Jesus. So you joined his group of followers. You travelled with him, you prepared food

for him to eat, and found places where he could rest. And you listened carefully when he spoke. You saw him heal

so many people. You watched, anxiously, as his enemies grew more hostile. But you believed in his power to

overcome them. You believed he was the promised Messiah.

But what do you believe now? He is dead. You watched him die. You stood and watched as nails were hammered

in and his body was hauled brutally up onto the cross. You saw the pain in his face as each breath grew weaker.

You saw the despair in his eyes. You heard him cry out to God, and then you watched him die.

You reach the tomb, and stop suddenly. Stunned. The

stone has been rolled away. What does this mean? You

run inside, but the tomb is empty. Jesus has gone. A

bright light dazzles you and you shield your eyes. When

you look up, you see two men stood beside you, dressed

in shining white. You realise they are angels, and in terror

you fall to the ground at their feet. You hear them say,

‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is

not here; he has risen!’

He is risen? Could it be true? Hope floods your heart.

Desperate to believe, you think back over all the things

you heard Jesus say. You start to remember times when

he spoke about what was going to happen to him, his

death and how he would be raised to life again on the

third day… Today is the third day… Could it really be

true? It makes no sense. It’s impossible. If you tell people

this, they’ll call you mad. No one will believe you. But

suddenly you know that he’s alive. He has risen, just as

he said he would. And you know that nothing will ever be

the same again. Whatever people will think of you, you

have to share this amazing news. You start to run…

Happy Easter
