Bluebell View care home in Shropshire welcomed the wonderful delights of the Sikh culture into their home.
< Back to News
Bluebell View care home in Shropshire welcomed the wonderful delights of the Sikh culture into their home. Residents at the Nursing home were given an insight into the faith, culture and traditions of Mrs Simanpreet Kaur and Mr Sukhvir Singh who visited the home from Telford Gurdwara temple Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
Simanpreet and Sukhvir shared their beliefs and discussed the core beliefs of Sikhism as well as explaining the purpose of the Kirpan, the steel sword that is worn as part of the religious uniform. Residents took part in relaxing meditation, which Sikh’s believe helps a clear mind, see your own souls and the God within.
Gifts were offered as a sign of respect and appreciation for each other and beliefs. Residents at Bluebell View gifted Mrs Kaur and Mr Singh hand knitted angels that had prepared especially for their visit and the residents received delicious chocolate treats in return.
Beverley Sterry, Wellbeing Coordinator at Bluebell View said
‘We are truly grateful for the effort made to make this visit to Bluebell view happen. Nothing was too much trouble for our visitors who were amazing in every way and explained the culture in detail. The residents were intrigued by the marvellous presentation.’
An invitation has been extended for Residents at Bluebell View to join the Sikh community at Telford Gurdwara temple Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in the New Year and residents are looking forward to learning more about this amazing culture.
