The Cross: A Symbol of Love

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, 

and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."

We are learning about the Easter Story, and have focused on a very important symbol in our faith; the cross. Jesus suffered and died on the cross for each one of us. The cross is a powerful symbol that reminds us how much God loves us.

We created beautiful burned matchstick crosses. Don't worry, the matches we worked with were already lit, cooled and very safe to touch, of course! We patiently helped one another count out matches, glue, and check and re-check the intricate pattern. This took lots of patience and collaboration!

After leaving the crosses to dry, we were able to cut them out. They are up in our chapel and will come home soon!

The symbol of the cross reminds us of Jesus' everlasting, infinite love for us! Be sure to stop by our chapel to see all of the finished crosses! 

As Easter approaches, may you have a blessed Holy Week!
