Resurrection Tree



Again inspired by Noel Piper, at the beginning of Lent we set up a Resurrection Tree (a dead, unwanted peach blossom tree scavenged for us from the side of the road by our beloved Mrs Hien) and started to hang from it items that symbolise Jesus' death and resurrection. It looks pretty sparse (!) and I'm looking forward to having another year to gather a few more objects that can help remind us of the story of what Jesus did for us in his dying and being raised. We kind of stopped taking Emily to the tree and explaining the significance of the various itmes, as she would just get upset that she couldn't break off bits of tree and eat them :-)
