The season of Easter continues, and this Wednesday our Liturgy centred around Mary the mother of Jesus, ending with a dressing of the cross. The ‘Flowering the Cross’, as it is known, is a tradition symbolising the new life that emerges from Jesus’ death on Good Friday.
One by one students transformed the cross, a reminder of Jesus’ death, with beautiful flowers creating a vibrant and colourful symbol of the resurrection.
Finally, the whole school community joined in a Marian procession around the grounds, concluding at the Trinity Chapel. Marian devotion processions, particularly during the month of May, are common practice in Catholic schools. These processions are a part of the broader tradition of honouring Mary as a model of discipleship and provide students with an opportunity for spiritual reflection. This morning was one of these beautiful traditions, joining students and staff together in a shared act of faith and reverence.
