All God’s Creatures Got A Place In the Choir
All God’s Creatures Got A Place In the Choir was composed by Bill Staines, an American folk musician and singer-songwriter from New England, This song has been recorded by many others apart from Makem and Clancy, but this is my favourite version.
The Blessing of the Animals at St Stephen’s
This year the Animal Blessing got some really excellent coverage from the good folks at Peninsula News Review.
First they published an article that introduced the event. See.

Then on the Sunday of the Animal Blessing another article had some nice photos and a video. See

Scroll down the article and you’ll find a few nice photos just below the video.
Here’s that same video.

Blessing of the Animals
Easter Day at St Stephen’s
Good Friday
Good Friday Inspired
The Cross He carried
Had bruised and battered
His frail, thin body~
This cruel and bloody,
Bleak day that mattered.
