It is dark, cold, wet and windy here in Thurles, Co. Tipperary tonight, which leaves our community with that wintery feeling; which reminds me.
Wintery Feeling.
Vocals: Canadian singer of pop, country and adult contemporary music, Anne Murray(CC ONS) [Ordre du Canada/Ordre de la Nouvelle], latter who has sold over 55 million album copies worldwide, during her career.
Lyrics: American-Canadian musician and songwriter Jesse Winchester.
Wintery Feeling.
Look how the sky’s all silver, beautiful Montreal.
Out of the sky of silver, snowflakes begin to fall.
I sit by my window; I take my pen in hand.
If I sound a little wintry, you’ll have to understand.
So how is California? How is the weather there?
Where every day is sunny and where all the skies are fair.
Tell me, do you remember how once upon a time?
We’d sit and watch the snow fall, sharing a glass of wine.
[Chorus]
Oh, that sad, old wintry feeling,
I don’t really seem to mind.
Sad, but sweet, old wintry feeling,
Oh, that wintry feeling, somehow it just seems to suit me fine.
If you are never cold love, then who’s going to keep you warm.
You’ll take the sun for granted love, if you run from every storm.
But Lord, me and this old guitar, we’ve seen a storm or two.
We’ve seen a million drifters, these snowflakes and you.
[Repeat Chorus]

“Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven”.

If you haven’t already had an opportunity to see the life-size Crib in the Cathedral of the Assumption, here in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, same is really is worth a visit.
The Cathedral and its Crib are among the most exquisite sights in Thurles at Christmas time. Indeed, the breathing-taking architecture of our historical Cathedral, is all the more stunning at this time of year, adorned with its beautiful festive lights and candles.
People of all faiths and indeed those with no faith whatsoever are always welcome and all can be sure to enjoy a few moments of peaceful reflection and contemplation.
Legend has it, that if you take a small piece of straw from a Crib at Christmas time and store it in your purse or wallet, same will never be found empty in the year ahead.
A huge team of volunteers have worked tirelessly to construct the Crib and to decorate the Cathedral. Donations, to help with the upkeep of this historical and impressive edifice; that offers so much freely to its visitors, are very much appreciated.
