Traditions

Goniadz, Poland

Tomb of Christ is traditionaly arranged on Good Friday. A lifesize figure of Christ lying in His tomb is widely visited by the faithful, especially on Holy Saturday.
Each parish strives to come up with the most artistically and religiously evocative arrangement.

The Catholic church in NZ doesn't follow this tradition - but it is very thought provoking Jola. It's an attractive altar and setting.

Happy Easter to you and yours. I must send this link to John's mother because she does all the Church holidays decorations. She will love this.
