Resurrection Garden
Ideas and Suggestions
The Resurrection Garden
The resurrection garden has become a feature in many of our churches over the years, from the Easter vigil until the end of the Easter season.
The garden is a visual aid for us to meditate on the glorious mystery of the resurrection. We see the stone rolled back for the entrance to the empty tomb. We see the neatly folded cloth that covered the face of Jesus. The beautiful flowers and butterflies are a symbol of new life.
This Easter we cannot enter our churches due to Covid 19. I would like to invite to make your own Easter garden, if you have children, this is an ideal opportunity as a family to reflect on Gods presence in your life, family and home this Easter.
Once you have completed your garden, I invite you to pray the 1st Glorious Mystery of the Holy Rosary, the resurrection of Our Lord from the dead.
