This week, the most significant days of the Christian calendar are being marked with a wide range of innovative services and events to help regular worshippers and those with less experience of church explore the story of Easter.
From video installations to Hot Cross Bun giveaways and chocolate fountains, Church of England churches are providing new ways of reflecting on the message of Jesus Christ’s dramatic death and resurrection.
This overview gives examples of:
Modern interpretations of Stations of the Cross in York, Birmingham and Herefordshire;
Bishops and clergy shining shoes for passers-by in Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Manchester,
Birmingham and Peterborough;
Dramatic retellings of the story of Christ’s death and resurrection in Essex and Dorset;
Hot Cross Buns being given away in Slough, Reading, and Bicester, and a campaign to promote the ‘original’ Hot Cross Bun in St Albans;
‘Total immersion’ baptisms by the Archbishop of York and Bishop of Birmingham;
Bishops handing out Easter eggs in Oxford, and in Reading on YouTube;
Easter services with champagne, chocolates and much more across the country.
