Artful Friday~ Palm Crosses, Rosettes, Knots and Scripture Verses

~Friends, welcome on this Good Friday~

Well, this has been a week of,

among other things ( ! ) 

crazy and beautiful palms~~

fun palm braiding tutorial watching, such as Jen's,

 examining step by step rose making and

sticking creations behind pictures, in pots, on windowsills

and hanging from doorknobs all over the house!

For those readers who may not be Catholic/Christian~

Palm Sunday, also known as Passion Sunday, 

falls on the Sunday prior to Easter and commemorates 

Jesus's triumphant entry into Jerusalem. 

This event is mentioned in all four of the Gospels:

Matthew 21:1-11

Mark 11: 1-10

Luke 19: 28-40

John 12: 12-50

This Bible is our mainstay as well as this resource

for Bible and Church history.

If you'd like to know more about the Catholic faith,

or 

if you left  the Church  and would like to return home,

nothing would make us happier!

Please email me and I will gladly connect you with a priest 

who will help you and 

with whom you can share your thoughts and concerns........

Now, here's a collection of some of my son's crosses and roses~~

the rest were given away to friends, neighbors, his guitar teacher...
