Solas Festival - midsummer in Errol - music, arts and ideas
 

Solas Festival - Scotland’s midsummer festival - has been running since 2009. The all-age, weekend-long celebration of music and the arts is designed to entertain, inspire and challenge. The programme makes space for challenging debate with activists, writers and thinkers from across the political, cultural and religious spectrum. The festival offers a broad, inclusive, creative and entertaining programme for festival-goers of all ages in a safe environment; everyone is welcome. Find out more. 

The Cathedral will be taking a group to Solas this summer. You can come along for the whole weekend or just for a day. Adult weekend tickets are £99, day tickets are £45, and there are discounts for groups. Have a look at the festival website and check your diary. There'll be a chance to sign up for the Cathedral group in the new year. 

Readings this Sunday: The Epiphany
Readings this Sunday, 8th January, are for the Epiphany: Isaiah 60:1-6, Ephesians 3:1-12, Matthew 2:1-12

The George Mackay Brown season continues. Here's his 'Epiphany Poem':
The red king
Came to a great water. He said,
Here the journey ends.
No keel or skipper on this shore.

The yellow king
Halted under a hill. He said,
Turn the camels round.
Beyond, ice summits only.

The black king
Knocked on a city gate. He said,
All roads stop here.
These are gravestones, no inn.
The three kings
Met under a dry star.
There, at midnight,
The star began its singing.

The three kings
Suffered salt, snow, skulls.
They suffered the silence
Before the first word.

In 2021, to mark his centenary, Orkney Library asked people to knit A Hat for George. They got 111 hats, and three of them were for the three kings of the Epiphany Poem. Look at your woolly hat, as you set out through the January sleet, and imagine yourself as one of the Magi bearing a gift. What will you bring?
Readings next Sunday, 8th January, are for the Second Sunday after Epiphany: Isaiah 49:1-7, 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, John 1:29-42

O God, who, by the guidance of a star, revealed your only-begotten Son to the nations: grant that we, who know you now by faith, may at the last be led to see your glory face to face; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord.
