From Christmas to Easter

Christmas time is special for many reasons. At our place we are always treated to a very artistic creation called a Presepio (manger scene.) This is it for 2007.

When it came time for Good Friday and Easter now 2008...

Instead of removing the manger scene, we transformed it in keeping with the celebration of the death and resurrection of Christ.










The shepherds' hillside became Golgotha with the
three crosses.













The stable was concealed to become the Garden Tomb.

I'm so glad the Tomb is empty!

Easter Monday

I should have done this earlier, but it's kind of a relaxed holiday in our house. So hope you had a very pleasant Resurrection Day. We had a great Easter dinner too! Eileen made Crepes for ten people. We also had all the trimmings again - blueberries, strawberries, custard pudding. syrup, peanut butter, and bacon. The latter item was my only contribution. To compensate for all the calories we walked to Tim Horton's this morning!(And back!)Oh, well once it really warms up I'll have to get out on Milena and Derek's acreage and do some heavy labour on the yard.
