A service led by the Revd Canon Jenny Wigley, an Anglican Priest in Cardiff. 

Today is Valentine’s Day named (for reasons obscured by the passage of time) after a third century Italian martyr. In the Christian calendar today is also known by a multitude of other different names; the Sunday before Lent, Transfiguration Sunday and Quinquagesima. We manage to mark all four! The readings from now until Easter chart Jesus’s journey to the cross and today’s gospel is the story of the transfiguration when Jesus took three of his disciples up a mountain to give a glimpse of his divine nature.  In this service Jenny Wigley considers what the transfiguration has to say to us in the midst of a lockdown.  

We cannot let the day pass without considering the true meaning of love. How do we keep our faith in God through these long months of a pandemic, and in the face of so much tragedy? 

Hymns include ‘Praise to the Lord, the Almighty the King of creation’, ‘Love divine all loves excelling’, ‘Shine Jesus, shine’ and ‘God is love, his the care’. 

The evening edition of the programme includes My Favourite Hymn.
