Feb. 20, 2007 - Crown of Thorns
In preparing our home for Lent, we found a great idea posted by Michelle at 4Real Learning ~ making a Crown of Thorns centerpiece for the table. I purchased a $3 grapevine wreath and then dismantled it, as it was much too large. I wove a Crown of Thorns with it, and used toothpicks for additional thorns. As the children do penance, offer extra prayers, and make sacrifices this Lent, they will be pulling out the thorns.
I think that on Easter they will each find a crown at their place setting, in keeping with Isaiah 61:3 - "to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes"!
