Published Date:

Beautiful blooms graced a Dethick church during a four-day flower festival.
This year's theme 'for all the saints' saw a selection of colourful arrangements.
Some of the displays were dedicated to well known saints relevant to the church and some depicted less well known saints who were chosen to reflect the rural setting.
Saints included St Nicholas, St John the Baptist – the patron of the church – The Blessed Virgin Mary and St Joseph along with the patron saint of farmers, St Isidore the Ploughman of Madrid, and patron saint of gardeners and florists, St Dorothy of Cappadocia.
A refreshment marquee was available at Manor Farm and there were also stalls selling books and crafts.
