One tradition at St. Bede that we have enjoyed over the years is “Twelfth Night” or Epiphany celebrated with the annual Burning of the Greens. Parishioners burn their Christmas trees and other greens for a gigantic bonfire celebrating the light of Christ coming into the world on one of the darkest (and often the coldest) nights of the year. Bring your leftover Christmas cookies, fruitcake, etc. We’ll have an Epiphany cake and some wassail punch (non-alcoholic). Leftovers are encouraged and welcomed. Gather around 5 PM; the bonfire should be lit around 6 PM. Come and enjoy this last day of our Christmas celebration. Please inquire for location.
