Flowers and light at All Saints Catholic Church
Iconic garden lover, 91-year-old Rosemary Ladlau and her daughter Jane Matkovich were some of the flower arrangers who used the beauty of flowers as an expression of thanksgiving.
A plethora of fauna and flora was recently on full display at the All Saints Catholic Church to commemorate the newly refurbished church.
The renovations which began in May were recently completed and saw the church’s interior transform into a light and incandescent space with new life being breathed into the church that was consecrated in 1984.
The flowers and plant materials in the displays were used to interpret Biblical psalms and scriptures. Festival organiser Vaughn Harrington said the displays were symbols of the majesty and creative power of God.
Harrington, who sits on the national panel of judges at the South African Flower Union and a skilled floral art specialist, was responsible for the pulpit display.
The imaginative interpretations used mostly locally grown flowers and foliage including proteas, leucospermums, anthuriums and gerberas.
Volunteer Theresa Fisher, said the vision behind the newly renovated church was to create a beautiful, sacred place that people were drawn to and a place where church-goers could connect with God in a peaceful and light environment.
