Just A Minute: Easter

An ‘Easter Garden’ is a physical portrayal of the garden and tomb in Jerusalem where Jesus rose from the dead. It’s usually a very simple construction on a small table with a green tablecloth and some rocks. There might be crosses in the background recalling Jesus’ horrific death. The garden could be anything from really small to life size. Usually there’s a figure of Jesus coming out of the tomb and some of the disciples looking on in confusion and amazement. There may be daffodils and other flowers giving a sense of spring. Kneel and pray, and you are drawn into the story of Easter. The garden breathes new life and hope.
