EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on April 5th, 1953 in Bromley, Kent, we see the Reverend John Rahe Hughes standing at the door of St Mary's Church. His warm smile reflects his genuine excitement as he awaits the arrival of children bringing lambs to a special Easter service. The scene is filled with innocence and joy as six adorable lambs, only two or three weeks old, are gently cradled by their young caretakers. These precious creatures were lent by a local Kent farm to beautifully illustrate the theme of the service - "The Good Shepherd". As sunlight bathes the church entrance, casting long shadows on the cobblestone path beneath Rev. Hughes' feet, one can almost feel the anticipation in the air. The children's faces radiate happiness and pride as they fulfill their role in this cherished tradition. It is worth noting that despite their temporary departure from their mothers' side for this meaningful occasion, these little lambs had to be returned within two hours. This detail adds an element of urgency and responsibility to an otherwise lighthearted moment. This remarkable photograph captures both a snapshot in time and a timeless message: that of love and care for all beings under our watchful eye. It serves as a reminder that even amidst religious ceremonies and customs like Easter celebrations, kindness towards nature's creations remains paramount.
