2. • Using a large bulletin board, place pins
strategically to outline a cross.
• Wind a piece of string around the pins to
create the form of the cross.
• Cut small pieces of black or brown
construction paper.

3. • Explain to the children that Jesus died for our sins
– things we do but know we shouldn’t do.
• Talk about the things we do that are wrong –
sinful.

4. • (e.g. lies, taking something that doesn’t belong to
us, hitting someone, talking bad about someone,
etc) Let everyone write their sins on the small
dark pieces of construction paper (one sin per
piece) and pin it within the outline of the cross.
• Encourage everyone to add more of these pieces
as they reflect on their sin, and when new sins are
remembered.

5. Take off the sin papers, leaving the pins in place.
These pins hold the memory of our sins which Jesus
died for, and will now be used to hold decorations.

6. Create flowers out of construction paper and pin them
on the cross with the same pins. An artificial vine with
flowers could also be wound around the pins to create
the triumphant cross.

7. The sin papers are then burned by the Easter fire: a
white candle symbolizing the new beginning we
have in Christ.

8. Variation
Instead of construction paper, use pieces of “flash
paper” available from a local magician’s shop. When
touched to a flame “flash” paper vaporizes in a flash
of fire and leaves nothing behind. Warning: Have a
teacher touch the papers to a flame and quickly let go
to avoid getting burnt.
