FR JULIAN WRITES…
Advent is now upon us, and we begin this season with a sense of anticipation, of waiting. Inevitably, we have all been waiting for lockdown to end and for information about how life may be lived with the enhanced tiered structures affecting areas of the country. We need to be thankful, but not complacent, for the fact that we in the south west have been relatively spared from the worst effects of the pandemic, in terms of the physical illness itself, if not the economic, emotional and spiritual effects. For most of November, our liberty has been restricted, and our ability to mix with family and friends has been removed. This has caused significant hardship for many, as has the inability to worship together. Not being able physically to receive the sacraments. This is the first time since the papal interdict of 1209, which banned priests from taking services in parish churches. We should take comfort that that lasted 4 years, not several months! It is anticipated (Mr Johnson has not yet pronounced at the time of writing) that limited socialising between households will also be permitted for five days over Christmas, so there will be some relief in the monotony of isolation, at least for those who have family or friends with which to share Christmas. However, there will still be severe restrictions on how we can hold Christmas services, and ensure people’s safety and wellbeing. A Christmas without carols? Who’d a thought it?! Congregations are not allowed to sing together either inside or outside the church building (I’ve looked at every possibility…), but just as Christmas at home will be different, not cancelled, so Christmas at Holy Trinity will be also. Later on in this magazine, there will be details of provisional arrangements.
There is so much uncertainty, so much second-guessing, so much compromise. We long for an end to these things, so we can get on with life, and find out how we can do so. We are in Advent. That is a season of longing expectation. ‘The Lord will come and be not slow’ as one hymn puts it, and there is the certainty that Christ will come again in glory, even if we don’t know when. So it is a time of review and preparation, of reflection. We are reminded that there is always a sense of provisionality in life; we have expectations but no certainties. A tutor at the college where I trained was fond of saying that you lot [students] all say you believe in Jesus’ coming in glory, but you’d be really cheesed off it happened before you were ordained!’ Dear old Fr Eric Franklin… But he was right! In Advent we need to put aside our earthly hopes and expectations, and focus on our spiritual ones. Whereas none of us is comfortable with the thought of the Advent themes – death, judgement, heaven and hell – we can be more confident about them with the knowledge that when we die, we have a just judge, the hope of heaven and that hell’s powers have been broken. All these things solely through the person and works of Jesus, whose earthly birth we are preparing to celebrate. Christmas is the birth of salvation, for us and for the world. Christ is born in order that we might know what is to be saved, to be reconciled with God. In Christ, we are given the very real hope of the resurrection which was his. So we can actually dare to look forward to the Second Coming, when not as a helpless babe but as the King of the universe, he will come again. Like Covid’s ending, we don’t when this will be. Unlike Covid, we have more than an idea of what life will be afterwards. Like Covid, we may have to undergo what we feel to deprivations in the present time, so that we might have wonderful future. With my prayers and very best wishes
Fr Julian
ADVENT You should all have received a copy of ‘O Radiant Dawn’ which is a series of daily reflections for Advent. The text has been written by Fr Philip North, formerly Shrine Priest at Walsingham, and published through the Church Union and The Society, to which this parish is affiliated. We are grateful for their hard work and generosity which allows downloading free of charge and copyright. If you haven’t received a copy, apologies. Please let Fr Julian know or else download the material from:
https://www.churchunion.co.uk/uploads/O_Radiant_Dawn_final_version.pdf
The Diocese of Bath and Wells has also produced a daily reflection. From December 1st-25th, there will be an Advent countdown, a retelling of the story of Christmas, with a short video each day. An inclusive way to keep Advent for adults and children alike.
View on Facebook@bathandwells, Twitter@bathandwells or You Tube@bathandwells. Compline - as in past years, there will be a short service of Compline in the Lady Chapel at 8pm on Wednesdays, beginning on 2nd December.
CHRISTMAS RAFFLE The draw for the Christmas Raffle will now take place on Sunday 13th December. This will give you a further opportunity to purchase any raffle tickets on Sunday 6th December (when public worship will be resumed) from Wendy Burge before the draw takes place the following Sunday.
CHRISTMAS SERVICES AT HOLY TRINITY
Because of current Covid restrictions, we are not able to worship in the same ways as we have done previously. However, every effort is being made to ensure that we have opportunities to celebrate the Saviour’s birth. Provisionally services will be as follows:
Carol Service: Sunday 20 December, 6.30pm This will be streamed only, but with congregational carols for you to join in at home.
Crib Service: Christmas Eve, 4.00pm This will be streamed only.
Christmas Morning: Family Mass at 10.00am
In order to ensure everybody’s health and well-being, it is just not possible for us to have a Midnight Mass this year. Most of the congregation will not be regular church-goers, and will be unable to sing carols. The church will also need to be thoroughly cleansed for the Christmas morning service (to which most of our congregation come, and can come) and there is not sufficient time and means to wipe down pews and air the building overnight.
ARCHDEACONRY TRAINING DAYS
Following the success of these days in recent years, the 'day' in 2021 will be a little different. The 2021 Archdeaconry ‘days’ will explore ways of praying, wherever and whoever we are. A short video will go live each day for you to watch at your convenience. The event will run from 11 to 16 January, with accompanying prayer ideas to try each day on the theme for that day. There will also be resources for those who are offline so that everyone, everywhere can join in. These will be made available in the Christmas/January magazine. Themes will include Prayer and Nature, Prayer and the Bible, Prayer and People and Prayer and the Digital World. You will need to register if you're joining online and the registration form is available through this link https://www.bathandwells.org.uk/2020/09/ad-days-2021/ All are welcome to join - there are already nearly 300 participants!

O ANTIPHONS
The O Antiphons are used at Vespers during the last seven days of Advent, and have been part of the liturgy since the very early church.
17 December - O Sapienta O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High,
reaching from one end to the other, mightily and sweetly ordering all things: Come and teach us the way of prudence.
18 December - O Adonai O Adonai, and leader of the House of Israel,
who appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush and gave him the law on Sinai: Come and redeem us with an outstretched arm.
19 December - O Radix Jesse O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign among the peoples;
before you kings will shut their mouths, to you the nations will make their prayer: Come and deliver us, and delay no longer.
20 December - O Clavis David O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel;
you open and no one can shut; you shut and no one can open:
Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house,
those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
21 December - O Oriens O Morning Star, splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness:
Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
22 December - O Rex Gentium O King of the nations, and their desire, the cornerstone making both one: Come and save the human race, which you fashioned from clay.
23 December - O Emmanuel O Emmanuel, our king and our lawgiver, the hope of the nations and
their Saviour: Come and save us, O Lord our God.

NOTES FROM THE CHOIR STALLS Lockdown has been a time of great anxiety and uncertainty for many people. I will admit to finding great solace in the fact that I have been nowhere near a supermarket (or indeed many other shops) since March. This has meant that I have been spared the Christmas ‘muzak’, which often blares out in these establishments from early October. However, recently I have been thinking a little of the history of some of our hymns and carols, both sacred and secular. Most of us know the story of ‘Silent night’: the mouse eating the bellows of the organ in the church at Oberndorf in Austria. Sadly, it would have taken a very mighty mouse to damage the action of a hand-blown, tracker-action organ to put it out of use, and there is no evidence that this ever happened. ‘While shepherds watched’ is an interesting example of a Christmas hymn. From 1700 to around 1780 it was the only Christmas hymn permitted to be sung in the Anglican Church. The words have been set to at least 150 tunes. ‘Winchester Old’, almost universally used in England, is among the least interesting of these. There is a tune called ‘Old Foster’ written by John Foster in Handelian style. This tune is usually heard in the South Yorkshire pub carolling tradition. A more popular tune is ‘Cranbrook’, a tune which originally had nothing to do with Ilkley Moor, but was written by a Canterbury bootmaker! ‘Good King Wenceslas’ is a carol often linked to Christmas but which has little to do with the feast. The words tell a completely fictitious story about King Vaclav the Good of Bohemia who became the Czech Republic’s patron saint. Its only seasonal connection is with Boxing Day, as an example of charity to the poor. Even the most geographically challenged will realise that it is not wise to attempt to sail any kind of vessel to Bethlehem. The text of ‘I saw three ships come sailing in’ derives from the Mediterranean journeying of the supposed relics of the Magi, the ‘Three Kings of Cologne’. The Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great and discoverer of the True Cross, carried the relics to Constantinople in the fourth century. They were later taken to Milan. In 1162 the skulls were given
to Cologne Cathedral where they were placed in jewelled caskets and where they remain to this day. Finally, a secular Carol, ‘The Boar’s Head Carol’ depicts the custom of carrying a boar’s head in to a Yuletide feast. At The Queen’s College, Oxford, the head is carried in a procession with torch-bearers and singers. This tradition is supposedly in honour of a student of the college who was walking in a forest reading Aristotle (don’t we all?), and was attacked by a wild boar. He forced the book down the boar’s throat, proclaiming it to be a gift from the Greeks, and escaped unharmed while the boar choked. A story about as plausible as that of the Austrian mouse!

A THANK YOU FROM ELAINE STOWELL Some 6 months ago at the beginning of the first lockdown, I was talking to Elaine on the telephone (Elaine lives in Edgbaston, Birmingham) and in the course of the conversation she told me she was recovering from surgery for the removal of a cancerous tumour and that she was anticipating further surgery and of course monitoring and tests. During our discussion we agreed that I would ask Fr Julian to include her in our prayer list for the sick.
Elaine has had a further operation and many tests and was delighted to be told recently by her surgeon that she is now ‘All Clear’. Elaine has asked me to pass on her grateful thanks to everyone at Holy Trinity for their kind thoughts and prayers, she said she was very aware of this great support and encouragement and is of course greatly relieved at her recovery.

THE VIRGIN - An Old Celtic Prayer
Behold the Virgin approaching near,
And the Christ so young upon her breast, Angels low-bowing before them here, And the King of life saying, ‘Tis best’.
A RECIPE FOR DECEMBER
MINCE PIES WITH ORANGE PASTRY
This light, crumbly and rich pastry really complements mincemeat. I have been using this recipe successfully for our mince pies for over 30 years and Fr Julian particularly likes them done this way. The recipe comes from a Christmas Book by Josceline Dimbleby. You will need:
▪ 1lb (500g) plain flour
▪ 6oz (175g) icing sugar (caster sugar may also be used)
▪ 12oz (375g) butter
▪ Finely grated rind and juice of 1 large orange
Method
1. Sift the flour and sugar into a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and rub gently with your fingertips into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the grated orange rind.
2. Using a knife, stir in the orange juice until the dough just begins to stick together. Gather up the dough and pat it into a ball, wrap it in cling film and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before using.
3. Knead the pastry lightly and roll it out a little more thickly than usual. Cut out as many rounds as required and put into greased patty tins. Fill with mincemeat and cover with smaller rounds of pastry, pressing the edges lightly together. Make a small slit in the top of each pie.
4. Brush the tops with milk and bake in the oven preheated to 220oC/Gas Mark 7 for 15-20 minutes until light golden brown. The pastry is deliciously crumbly so it is best to let the mince pies cool down a bit before easing them from the tin.

A DEAR FRIEND OF THE CHURCH IN SOMERSET
At the time of writing there seems little likelihood of any choir or congregational singing in church of carols and hymns at Christmas because of the ongoing corona virus precautions.
One of the great hymns that we normally enjoy singing at Holy Trinity is appropriate for the feast day of the Virgin Mary on 8th December. It is No. 188 in the English Hymnal. ‘Ye who own the faith of Jesus’, followed by the chorus ‘Hail Mary, full of grace’. This hymn was written by the Reverend Vincent Stuckey Stratton Coles who lived from 1845 to 1929. He was described as ‘a dear friend of the Church in Somerset’ and visited Holy Trinity Church several times to speak both to the C of E Men’s Society and to the congregation at Evensong in Lent and Advent in 1912 and 1913. He was born at Shepton Beauchamp, the son of the Rector. Educated at Eton and Oxford, he trained for the ordained ministry at Cuddesdon Theological College with his first curacy at Wantage 1869 to 1872. He was Principal of Pusey House, Oxford from 1897 to 1909. Later he became Rector of Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset.
As I’ve mentioned, he was a friend of Holy Trinity. One of his last visits to our church as Canon Coles was to have organised a retreat in connection with the dedication of the War Memorial Chapel in January of 1921, but sadly, now in his 70s, a lapse of memory on his part left 50 people gathered together in the Chapel with the Vicar Fr Lowman Lang stepping in at the last minute. Apologetically Canon Coles promised to give the retreat sometime in February.
Upon his death in June 1929, ‘The Times’ obituary said he had ‘a kindly humorous understanding of young men and exercised a wide influence in the university’ with many people across the world both clergy and laity owing much to his guidance.
There is another hymn attributed to him in the English Hymnal, No. 311 ‘We pray thee Heavenly Father’.

GIFTS THAT KEEP GIVING
Almost a year ago, 11/12/2019, the newspaper i published an item on the environmental impact of the packaging and gift wrapping etc we use at Christmas. Its source was Pure Planet who surveyed a sample of 2,000 people.
Did you know that 300,000 tonnes of cardboard is used in the UK every Christmas? That, apparently, is enough to cover the journey between London and Lapland 103 times!
The least eco-friendly Christmas items are:
▪ Synthetic corks which last forever. ▪ Batteries which last for 100 to 1 million years
Those items which last for 1,000 years include:
▪ Advent Calendars, Crackers, Glitter, Mince Pie packaging, Sticky tape, Plastic Toys and Plastic shopping bags.
Other items include:
▪ Cling film (25 years) ▪ Christmas Cards (25 years) ▪ Wrapping paper (2-6 weeks)
So, should we be careful what we use, and recycle where possible? Remember these figures represent every year!
