Happy Easter


Easter has always been one of my favorite days, and is certainly the most magnificent day in my church, so full of joy and celebration.  

One of my favorite traditions at my church is the Easter Cross of Flowers.  An 8 foot cross is erected in front of the church, and it is slowly transformed through the morning of Easter with flowers and branches that church members bring to create this beautiful symbol of the Resurrection.  

Happy Easter to all!

  6. I just love Easter too. It's my very favorite day at church and I love to have my entire family over afterwards for lunch. This year was very special with a new baby in the family. That cross is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I know it was a special day at your church as well. Happy Easter. Mona

  7. I LOVE this!!!! What a beautiful tradition...I am all ready trying to start this at my church next year...what is the cross made of? How do they hook them on? I am assuming there is a ladder so people can put them on the top....This is one of the most beautiful things! Just one more reminder of how much we are blessed.
