Tonight our Paschal candles were lit from the Paschal candle in the Cathedral Easter Vigil, ready to be taken into all our local churches for Easter day.

This evening we are taking our Paschal Candle to St Asaph Cathedral to be lit from the Cathedral's candle.
Our Paschal Candle represents Jesus coming back to life at Easter. At every Christening Service in our churches we light a baptism candle from our Paschal candle to give to the person being Christened.

Can you help? Strong people needed!
If you have been in the church you may have noticed that our 16th century chest is suffering from a chronic woodworm infestation (as is our Jacobean altar). We have been working with a conservator to decide on the best way to treat and restore these ancient items. The relevant permissions are now in place to be able to take these items to a university for a freeze treatment.
However, we will need help removing these items from the church and getting them into a lorry to be transported.
They are both big and heavy items, and there are a few steps to navigate. However, they must have been lifted into the church by hand back when the church was first built.
We don't have a date to carry out the work yet but we are trying to gauge if we can even remove the chest and altar from the church first. Please share widely and drop us a message if you might be able to help.
With many thanks!
