The London Diocese is committed 'to telling the story of Jesus Christ afresh for this generation and especially for the young' and I am glad to commend these resources to you for use in schools and parishes.
The good news of Easter is at the heart of our Christian Faith and I am grateful to those who have produced these materials for telling the Easter story afresh in London.
New life constantly flows from the empty tomb. I hope this pack will prove to be an effective channel.
With all good wishes.

The original photographs were commissioned to help the children engage again with meaning of Easter.
The six images are intended to be a guide through some of the main events leading to Easter:
