We’ve all heard that a picture is worth a thousand words. So here are a few thousand words expressed in pictures taken around the parish during the Easter weekend.

Sights range from the Empty Tomb at Abbie Lane Retreat to decorating the yard for Easter. There are lilies in full bloom on the altar, a cross draped with white at St. George’s Catholic Church, the Easter Bunny passing out treats, and a great breakfast at Open Door Fellowship Easter morning.

There was a sunrise service on the pier at Grand Bayou Resort with the message delivered by Brother Nathan Davis of First Baptist Church. It was cloudy, which made for a beautiful sunrise.

However your family observed Easter, the Journal hopes it was memorable. Comment if you like with your experiences.
