The Victorian tradition of exchanging Christmas cards is as strong as ever for many, so a parishioner at St Wulstan’s Church in Little Malvern has printed some to suit everyone.
Charlotte Carver’s most recent designs are ‘Snowfall and Sunset at St Wulstan’s in Little Malvern’ and ‘A Partridge in a Pear Tree Fantasy’ (pictured).
When researching The Twelve Days of Christmas song, she says “I discovered there is a tradition that each line represents a different aspect of the Christian faith. For example, the ten lords a-leaping symbolise the ten commandments, the four calling birds are the four gospels and the Partridge is Jesus”.
“The tradition of sending cards is such a good one. And, as second-class stamps haven’t gone up yet, why not keep in touch with friends by sending them a hand produced card with your love and best wishes for joy and peace this Christmas.”
These unique high-quality cards are produced in the UK. They sell at £5 per pack of 10 and a generous percentage goes to support the restoration fund at St Wulstan’s in Little Malvern.
So, if you are looking for cards with a difference this year, pop on to the dedicated website linked below or contact The Christmas Card Store on 01684 592179.
St Wulstan’s is known internationally as the final resting place of local composer Edward Elgar and attracts visitors all year round.
