Flowering of the Cross + Egg Hunt
On Easter Sunday morning we celebrate the resurrection through a ceremony called “The Flowering of the Cross”. The flowering of the cross represents the transition from Good Friday to Easter, from meditation on Jesus' death to joyful celebration of his resurrection. The ceremony transforms a barren cross, a reminder of Jesus' death, into an Easter symbol. Covered with fresh, living flowers, the cross serves not only as an emblem of Jesus' resurrection but also of the continuing presence of Christ among today's Christians. There will also be an egg hunt following the service for the kiddos.
