In my Enquire Within...

 "Stir it Up Sunday" traditionally falls on the Sunday just before Advent and is the time to make the Christmas pudding. 


 A collect in the Anglican Prayer Book for that Sunday reads,
​
 "Stir up, we beseech thee oh Lord, 
the wills of thy faithful people,
that they, plenteously bringing forth
 the fruit of good works, 
may be of thee plenteously rewarded;
 through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen"

a true Christmas pudding:

*has 13 ingredients, for Christ and his 12 disciples.

*is stirred from East to West to recall the magi who visited the baby Jesus.

*is stirred by every member of the family for good luck.

*sometimes has a coin baked within it and the finder is assured wealth for the coming year.
