PORTUGUESE SPRING
FESTIVAL
Thousands of Islanders attended the
Spring Festival earlier this month which
was held at the Weighbridge and included
performances by a visiting Portuguese
singer, as well as food stalls and other
activities. It was great to see so many
different members of our community
together once again enjoying some great
food, drinks and live music.
LIBERATION 77
Another sense of normality returning was
the return of the much-loved Liberation
events. A packed Town Hall for both the
Liberation Day Breakfast and Afternoon
Tea were the tribute to how much people
have missed being together, and there
was something incredibly moving about
meeting so many Islanders who were
here during the Occupation. It was great
that the Parish was able to support the
new ‘Lib in the Square’ event in the Royal
Square, as well as Liberation becoming
something for young people to look
forward to as well.
Due to the fact that the Island enjoyed
a Royal visit for Liberation, the Earl nominate parishioners who were in Jersey

HISTORIC ST HELIER, GERAINT
JENNINGS: IT'S A WHITEWASH!
Although the Parish Church of Saint Helier
is now situated in the centre of Town, it
was founded at the water's edge, with
a direct view to the rocky islets where
Elizabeth Castle now is. Parishioners
would have been able to look across to
the Hermitage, site of Helier's life in Jersey
and martyrdom, and the Abbey, but the
monastic services there would only have
been accessible at low tide. The Parish
Church therefore stood on the shore, as
the most convenient place to worship, and
was a prominent feature of the coastline of
the bay.
Before reclamation and the growth of
Town around it, the church was also
used as a navigation mark to help ships
