A sprayed white branch placed in a clear vase held with blue marbles,
colorful and sometimes sparkly decorations of eggs and lambs dangling from its tiny limbs.
With wonder and awe, Charlotte observes her father place some of the ornaments.
It is intentional to be eye catching as it sits on the dining room buffet. We will gather here many times throughout the week as additional symbols of the Holy Week will be added to the tree by the children.
For many year this glass cross has hung on our Resurrection Tree. It is made of twisted beads of glass, fragile yet strong, clear yet frosty. The contrast speaks volumes to me.

I've never done a Resurrection Tree but I can see how that affords many opportunities to talk about the meaning of the cross, new life, the sacrificial lamb, etc. Your children have good parents!
I like the idea of a resurrection tree. What a wonderful thing to be able to do with your children. One year we decorated blow out eggs and hung them on some pussy willow branches.
Like what you did with your photos too.
