A Symbol of Love: Matchstick Crosses

 "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.

With the help of Grandma Theresa, our Linking Generations grandparent, we were able to make beautiful matchstick crosses as a reminder of God's love. Don't worry, the matches we worked with were already lit, cooled and very safe to touch. 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 cut them out. Here are the finished crosses, proudly displayed in our Chapel. 

Have a safe, relaxing and blessed Spring Break!
