An Easter Garden brought focus and deeper meaning to worship at St. George’s Georgetown this Lent and Easter.
Our first Easter garden, designed by Janet Armstrong and Sue Graham, was a powerful addition to worship.
In Lent, the garden was dotted with succulent plants and decorated with stick crosses and a number of stones.
At Easter, small flowering succulents were added; the round stone was rolled away from the tomb-like stone.
Many parishioners were moved by its symbolic meaning and delighted by its enhanced beauty on Easter Day.
