Celebrating Easter in the St. Francisville with blooming Azaleas at Hemingbough's Sunrise Service

ST. FRANCISVILLE — Easter is a special time here in the Felicianas. And just like the new blooms on the Azaleas, it's a time of new beginnings, new hope.

On Sunday, the Easter Sunrise Service is being held at Hemingbough in St. Francisville as the center’s flowers — and faith — enter full bloom. The center, home to roaming peacocks, is also known as Peacock Paradise.

For 30 years, the amphitheater has become a sanctuary for believers of many faiths who gather at sunrise.

“This is not an idle tale. It is as real as any truth ever was, and I don't know a time in my 70 years of life when the world has not needed the message of Easter, more than it does, at this time,” Rev. Chris Andrews said.

The Hemingbough Easter service starts at 7 a.m. on Sunday. Click here for more information.
