Interesting though, hence the benches on either side, waiting for the vicar.<br />My cousin in Switzerland recently told me about their 'Lichtmesse' (light mass, i.e. candlemass) which is also happening there on 2nd Feb this year, after which the Christmas trees and decorations in the churches will be put away. Apparently some households still observe this too and the fire services are only too aware of this practice as it will be a busy night, some folk being too thick not to realize that lighting real candles on a tinder dry fir tree can only spell disaster!! Now, I grew up in Switzerland and was never aware of it, maybe it is only happening in the predominantly Roman Catholic Kantons (counties).
