Today's art and faith reminds us of the three Mary's going and visiting the tomb, this reflection invites us to consider how we will respond at the new that Jesus is risen, who will we tell and what difference will it make in our lives.

Earlier in the week when the families gathered for stations of the cross one family shared images from a lantern they had made, each side showing a picture of an event from Holy Week, tonight we come together to celebrate the peace and joy that Christ is risen. Tomorrow we'll share a paschal candle for children and adults if they wish to colour and have as a reminder that this is not an event in the past, but is something we celebrate in 2021.
