Good Friday flowers

I was walking past Eccleshall Church today and I saw the Easter flower-arrangers were already in. I was surprised to see them on Good Friday (the day of Christ’s death) – a very sombre day in the Christian calendar.

However, one lady told me that they had been allowed to put up the Easter flowers on strict condition that they did it after three o’clock. This is important – as 3pm is the supposed hour of Christ’s death on the cross on Good Friday.
