Living cross

[john w revie]

This photo came about after one of the local church elders
Asked if I would contribute some photos to next years church calendar.
And the recent passing of my father had me thinking if there was any thing after life
I set myself the goal of producing a photograph that is symbolic of the Christian belief
In the resurrection.
There is a story behind the living cross; some young men hired Rory’s Shed a local
Bunkhouse and hall to hold a stag night the cross was built from a felled willow tree
From which all the branches had been stripped this was used to tie the groom to be to in a mock crucifixion
As you can see the willow has taken root and started to grow.
With the living cross symbolic of the resurrection and the lambs of Jesus: the Lamb of God.
