In church, we have a cross that was originally made from Christmas trees. It symbolises the birth of Jesus at Christmas through to his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Each Sunday in Lent we will add a symbol to the cross, which is linked to short readings from the Bible in which the events of Easter unfold. This is very moving and takes us through the full range of emotions from the excitement of Palm Sunday, through the fellowship of the last supper, shock at the betrayal, fear at the arrest and sadness at the trial and crucifixion. But, of course, it doesn’t end there!
On Easter Sunday members of the congregation are invited to bring a flower to place on the cross, which has been stripped of the other symbols. The cross will then look beautiful and will be a symbol of the Resurrection and new life in Christ.
Last week the Palm leaves, this week was the Betrayal, (the bag of coins)
