EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of deep religious significance in the hop fields of Kent. It takes us back to Ascension Day evening on May 30th, 1960, when the clergy, choir, and devoted parishioners from Aylesford Parish Church gathered at Hermitage Farm for a special service. In this timeless image, we witness the blessing of the hopfields, orchards, and crops by these faithful individuals. The solemnity and reverence are palpable as they come together to seek divine intervention for bountiful harvests ahead. The scene is filled with an air of spirituality and unity. The men and women stand side by side amidst rows upon rows of lush green hops plants stretching into the distance. Their heads are bowed in prayer while their hands clasp rosaries or hymn books tightly. The photographer has skillfully captured not just a simple act but also a profound connection between nature's abundance and human devotion. This snapshot freezes time to remind us that faith was deeply woven into every aspect of life in rural communities like Kent. As we gaze upon this evocative print from TopFoto titled "A service in the hop fields of Kent" we can't help but be transported back to an era where tradition met spirituality under open skies. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst our modern lives today, there is still beauty in connecting with our roots through age-old rituals such as these blessings bestowed upon nature's gifts.
