This week we get to hear the Easter story, make our own Paschal (Easter) candle project, and sing one of our favorite songs again!
Now that it is the Easter season we get our Alleluias back, so let's start by singing Hallelu, hallelu!
You will also hear Alleluias in chapel. Now we will start chapel like this:
I will say: Alleluia, Christ is Risen!
Then you will say: Christ is Risen indeed, Alleluia!
Next, we will hear the story of Easter, read by Archbishop Desmond Tutu:
Then, we will make our own Paschal Candle project. You can print the template here. In our next Zoom call we will learn what the symbols and numbers on the Paschal candle mean.
Color in the flame, the alpha and omega, and write in the year. Then cut out your candle like you see in the picture:
Last, fold the flame down to the back and roll the candle into a tube and use a glue stick or tape to stick it together so it can stand up.
You can fold the flame up to light your candle!
If you don't have a printer, you can take any rectangular piece of paper and draw the cross, write the year, and the alpha and omega on it yourself! To add a flame, you can draw one and cut it out and tape it on.
I would love to see your finished Paschal candles! You can take a picture of yourself with your candle and email it to me at tashlock@st-andrews.org.
Happy Easter!
Chaplain Taylor
