Easter Crosses in PrestburyBishop Michael had the idea of every parish putting up a cross on Palm Sunday in a place where it would be noticed. St Nicolas’ is making use of their huge window space and will display a cross on a banner worked on by the Sunday Club. St Mary’s will join with the United Reformed Church, who are having a cross made and painted white. On Palm Sunday (1st April) everyone is invited to meet at the United Reformed Chapel in Deep Street at 10.30am for a very short joint act of worship as the cross is put in place. Bishop Michael’s idea is then for two things to happen to the cross during Holy Week: for a crown of thorns to be added on Good Friday and for flowers to be added on Easter Sunday, proclaiming the joy of Our Lord’s resurrection. Again, everyone is invited to the United Reformed Church at 11.45am on Good Friday for a short joint act of worship as the crown of thorns is added. On Easter Sunday, those who can are invited to attend at 10.30am when the cross will be decorated with flowers. Palm Sunday
