Resurrection Trail

This morning the kids and I had the opportunity to do a Resurrection Trail at one of the (thousands!) of churches here. It was so great and I am so glad we went - it really set the tone for Good Friday. There were 12 stations to walk to and each one had actors dressed in character and we were able to "walk" as Jesus did on Good Friday and have a hands on experience with some of the things we read about in the Easter story. Here are a few pictures from our day

It was such a great morning and we all loved taking part in it. There were hundreds of people lined up in the parking lot and radio stations there. At one point, they asked us to yell "crucify him!" over and over and I got teared up! So memorable and we will defiantly be there next year.
