The snow is like a duvet that protects snowdrops, other flowers and plants from the harsh frost. The snow is freezing on the surface but protective like a duvet.

It will soon be spring, and one of the first miracles that happen is that the snowdrops look out and say: spring is coming.

We have been under a corona-duvet for almost a year and want only one thing: to lift our heads from under the duvet and see the new possibilities of a new era.

"It will be good again," we say to one another. The snowdrop indeed reminds us that is true. The small winter flower tells us that warmth and community are stronger than cold and isolation.

In the Danish Church in Toronto, we meet online for services and Zoom coffee (everyone is welcome - read more on the website www.danishchurchtoronto.ca). We also invite you to an online spring bazaar where you can order sweets and other goods from Denmark - another way to survive Corona restrictions.

I look forward to seeing you again - At Sunset Villa; In the church, virtually on the internet, or somewhere else where we together can experience that spring is coming!
