St. Cuthbert's Primary School have been building a Lenten Garden in church over the last 6 weeks. It's not really a garden with plants, though. Instead, it's full of symbols that help us to think about the gospels of each Sunday during the Season.

Just in case you've forgotten, here's a reminder:
1st Sunday - Jesus is tempted in the desert (Luke 4:1-13)
2nd Sunday - The Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36)
3rd Sunday - The parable of the barren fig tree (Luke 13:1-9)
4th Sunday - The Prodigal Son (Luke 15:1-32)
5th Sunday - The woman caught committing adultery (John 8:1-11)
6th Sunday - The triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Luke 19:28-40)

So next time you're in St. Cuthbert's have a look at the garden and see if you can work out why the children chose the symbols they put in there. Answers on a postcard, please!
