Cherie's Place » Easter Cross http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:49:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 The Easter Cross http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2015/04/07/the-easter-cross-2/ http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2015/04/07/the-easter-cross-2/#comments Tue, 07 Apr 2015 18:28:10 +0000 CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=15368 The Easter Cross

As part of the Easter celebrations my local parish church erects a wooden cross and adorns it with flowers. This is done by the congregation just before the Easter morning service. I think it is a lovely idea and little children bring flowers to place on the Easter Cross. The Church ‘Flower Ladies’ help to adorn the cross with the flowers.

The top photo was taken by me on Easter Monday after I had returned home from my weekend in Lincoln. Unfortunately it was in shadow by the time I got there.  The photo below (not taken by me) shows my Mum and and a friend of hers after they (along with two other helpers) had finished placing the flowers on the cross. I think the cross looks particularly beautiful this year and it seems I am not the only one. As I was taking photographs a lady walked past and said to me “Isn’t that the most beautiful thing you have seen all day?”

The top photo was taken by me later in the day after it had stopped raining.  The one below (not taken by me) shows my Mum and and a friend of hers after they had finished placing the last of the flowers on the cross.

I then went home to freshen up and visit Mum for an evening meal of slow roasted lamb.  It was delicious.  I had to do a slight detour on the way because I had forgotten to take a picture of the decorated cross outside the parish church.  The lighting wasn’t quite right and in hindsight I should have used fill in flash.

It is like the sun, which, to our eyes, seems to set at night; but it has in reality only gone to diffuse its light elsewhere.

I dodged the rain showers and nipped out to capture a few shots of it so that I could share them with you.
