OK, after the Xmas-light-related fiascos of previous years, this year we're going to put some contol into our liturgical calendar. We've had Samhain and All Saints and All Souls and St Bonfire's Night. So now we're going to have a few weeks of quiet, calm, autumnal reflection before the light-festival of Advent kicks in. Or, to put it another way, no bling before December.
Tea lights are, as ever, usable for all services (they make Tenebrae particularly pretty, in my opinion - we really must hold another one sometime). But in the meantime we're going to be looking for moody, dim lighting. Liturgical colours this Autumn will mostly be earthy browns, ecrus and taupes - with maybe just a splash of hi-viz orange or yellow, for contrast and safety.
