Flowering of the Cross

The Flowering of the Cross
When you come to church this Easter, please bring flowers to add to the cross that will be decorating the entrance of our church on Easter morning!
This is a tradition that can be traced back to the 6th century that is meaningful and beautiful! Flowers may be bought or clipped from your own home. Love and joy from each adult and child is shown with every flower!
When the cross is first placed on the steps, it is empty and bare. Through the day, more and more flowers will be added until the whole cross it covered! This cross is a symbol of the new life that emerges from Jesus’ death.
Alleluia! He is Risen!
