Pink Saturday - Easter Post - Royal Purple

This year I decided to create a focal point for my front yard on Good Friday.  I took some old wood garden stakes and created a cross.  I drape the cross with purple fabric.


The purple represents Christ's Royalty and purity.  He is the KING OF KINGS and LORD of LORDS.  Purple was reserved for the eartly kings of Rome of that day and the color purple was very expensive to make so it is symbolic of all the Christ has done for us.

Also displayed on my front porch is my Easter flag.

Have a glorious Easter weekend.

    Beautiful symbols of Love, Ann...We often think of the cross as the end, but oh, boy, what a beginning!!

    Lilies are so lovely, and always have been the symbol of purity. Their fragrance is Heaven scent, is it not?

    Thank you for your delightful visit to my blog. Stop by again, anytime.

    Blessings,
    Marianne
