Last year I had wanted to make a Resurrection Garden. This is a miniature garden with a tomb and any other items you want that represent the events of Holy week. A remembrance garden as it were. Time often gets away from me and we never got it done. This year we all worked together and made a nice garden.
Gabe fashioned the tomb for us out of clay. He put a shelf in the tomb where the body would lay and made a big rock that would seal the tomb.
Rachel, Hannah and Dan helped fill the pot with soil. Brian made the cross from two spikes and some wire. We gathered some brambles to make a crown of thorns. We all took a walk down to the brook to gather rocks and managed to get in some rock skipping while we were there. We found moss in our woods to fill in around the plants. We added a little plastic container for a pond.
I love how it came out.
This has been a fun and meaningful project. We will most likely change some elements throughout the week as each day passes and the we read of the events leading up to Resurrection Sunday.
