Currently on festival tour (so, unavailable for viewing here),“Agnes Day” is a comparison of nature with human nature. A young boy mourns the loss of his twin sister. Like everyone else, the boy gets his ideas about death and eternity from two places, nature and humans. The priest gives the boy the book to assist him in imagining eternal life (the classic paradise of Heaven) where the boy has been told his twin has gone. The bees give the boy the combs of honey, which illustrate how work diligently performed allows future generations to prosper, an alternate vision of eternal life.
