St John's Festival for Children

On Sunday 30 June the children gathered to hear the story of the sun-bird that longed for the return of the sun in winter time. To remind him of the sun the aloe offer to bloom in winter offering bright red blowers filled with nectar to the sun-bird.

After the story of the sunbird the St John's fire was lit. from the light of fire each child was able to light a lantern.
