About this title

Synopsis

This book examines the history of porch fireplaces in Devon churches, a feature rarely seen today. It discusses their probable uses, such as baking sacred wafers or producing the New Fire on Easter Eve, as well as their symbolic meanings within the Christian religious context. The author provides background information on the significance of fire in pre-Christian and early Christian rituals and the evolution of the Easter Vigil ceremony. By studying these fireplaces, the author sheds light on the unique architectural and liturgical practices of Devon churches, contributing to our understanding of the rich cultural heritage of the region.
