the boy's wisdom

My kids are making an Easter scene.

There's a hill and a tomb,

we had to make 3 crosses.

on Good Friday we'll place the crosses on the hill.

(and add a stone in front of the tomb, which, on Sunday we'll move to the side.)

i left them while i went to get some hemp to tie the sticks together.

and listened while a good, wise, big brother explained to his little sister why we needed 3 crosses.

(this has been 2 days in my memory, some of the exact wording may be slightly off)

"We need three crosses.

Jesus was in the middle and he had robbers beside him.

The robbers did bad so they were dying because they did bad.

But Jesus was good.

He didn't do any bad.

But he had to die on the cross.

Then they buried him in the tomb and put a big rock in front so he couldn't get out.

But then one day he moved the rock and got out."
