Scenes from Easter week

Churches all over the county have been hosting Easter parties and egg hunts in the last few weeks. Pictured are kids and volunteers at Forest Home Baptist, Southside Baptist, and Saint Elizabeth Catholic Churches enjoying fellowship, games, food, fun, and even a few live bunnies.Many churches drape their crosses with white cloths to symbolize the hope Christians have in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Other traditions include decorating the cross with flowers to represent new life such as this one found at Southside Baptist at Easter. (Kathy Pickens | The Standard)
