SNOWY EASTER RISING

Between 60 and 70 members of Traprain Church, joined by the local herd of Exmoor ponies, held an Easter Rising service at the top of Traprain Law at 6.30am on Easter Sunday.

Traprain Law, a 221m hill in East Lothian, was a place of burial around 3500 years ago and a hill fort from 1000BC until the Roman period. It is at the centre of, and gives its name to the parish, a new triple union.

Minister, the Rev David Scott, said:

“Every year our Easter Rising service seems to be characterised by a different and distinctive weather pattern – mist, sun, wind and, this year, snow! The wintry imagery was the perfect foil to celebrate the resurrection of Christ springing to new life on Easter Day.”
