With Palm Sunday coming soon we’re inviting everyone to make a Palm Cross and display it in a front window or on your front door.
We want to be able to share these in an online gallery. So once your artwork is complete, please take a photo and post it here. (you’ll see a link at the top of the Gallery.
You could come up with your own design, or you could use these instructions.
Well that might seem all rather too difficult!
There is an easier alternative, (just please no scissor-related accidents)
Another Idea altogether…
What if everyone on Sunday April 5 in the morning, puts a branch on the door of their house or on the window, to celebrate Palm Sunday?
It could be any green branch you can get. This would help, despite the social distancing, to be connected as we enter into the Holiest of Weeks.
Want to join?
We may be physically isolated, but not separated. We are united as the body of Christ.
We are the Church.
A
Palm Cross from 1940
This
isn’t the first time British people have had to take a new approach to palm
crosses.
This
palm cross was issued to parishioners in 1940 when the usual supply was
unavailable.
John Huckle from St George’s has a collection of his mother’s palm crosses covering many years and shares this one with us which was given to his mother in her parish in Leeds during WW11.
Dear friends, we are all facing great challenges, and alongside many other parts of our usual social life, the church has had to respond, and we have had to restrict our social gatherings and limit our services.
What this means is a different kind of church, because we are church in many more ways than meeting on Sunday services… St George’s and St John’s are both working to find ways to nurture and support our communities…
