Maundy Thursday is the day when Christians remember the
Last Supper, when Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples before
being betrayed and arrested in the garden of Gethsemane.
When Molly last met with the
solicitors, she discussed the good causes fund that her grandfather set up on
her behalf and she thought it was appropriate to make her first donations on
Maundy Thursday.
To commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus
Christ, a special service was held throughout the Christian World on Good
Friday, and St Clara’s was no exception, and it was a special day for Arielle,
and Molly was ever present.
Molly had a difficult and
emotional week as she had been completing the paperwork on her grandfather’s
repatriation, so on Holy Saturday Molly attended the vigil and spent the time
in God’s presence to clear her mind.
Easter
Sunday or Easter Day is the most important day of the year for Christians when they celebrate “the Resurrection”, when
after being killed on the cross, Jesus rose from the dead, and defeated evil
forever, there are no bigger days in the Christian calendar.
Arielle captivated the large
congregation on her most important service of the year with a spellbinding
sermon.
Spiritually refreshed after
the Holy weekend Danny and Molly spent a miserably wet Easter Monday enjoying a movie marathon.
Because on Tuesday it was
“putting pen to paper” time again.
After their lazy and
vegetative Bank Holiday Monday they rose bright and early on Tuesday morning
and after breakfast they started work.
Since they completed the last
book, they had both been making independent notes and suggestions for the new
Sharon Jacques book, so first on the agenda was comparing notes.
They had both had similar
thoughts on plot, but they had also both gone off on different tangents and the
whole process of bouncing off each other, meant that before they knew it, it
was the weekend again.
Kevin Holland and Marion
Monaghan had put a stop to their respective cradle snatching relationships and
put their hopes in something more age appropriate and eventually their wishes
were answered.
That weekend was the first
one Kevin had off since January and now he had found Marion he was going to
make the most of it.
Also
making the most of the weekend were fifty-three-year-old Audiologist Anna
Turnbull and fifty-five-year-old farmer Duncan Wilson who were sharing an
intimate time on Roman Water Farm, before his parents returned from their
holiday and his children arrived home from university.
