AG releasing a butterfly
The butterflies are a fairly new tradition at our church. For the past several years the children have been given caterpillars to raise until they hatch as beautiful butterflies which we then release by the cross on Easter morning after the service. The butterfly is one of many symbols for the meaning of the life of Christ. The caterpillar stage stands for His life on Earth. The cocoon stage, in which it appears dead, is symbolic of the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. The final stage, the emerging butterfly, represents His raising from the dead in a glorified body. Now isn't that a really neat way to teach the children about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
