We are four parishes (Bransgore, Burley, Hinton Admiral, Sopley and Burley) on the edge of the beautiful New Forest National Park in Hampshire, England. We exist to honour Jesus Christ who came not to be served, but to serve and gave his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10.45).

    Thank you so much for posting this link James. The photos are interesting. I did not realise that in so many places it is a real person nailed to the cross and not a figure of Jesus. Those nails the old man is holding up are frightening and makes one realise what agony Jesus and of all course all who were crucified endured. What a sacrifice He made for us. It is good to see different ways of celebrating, or recognising Easter. Christianity lives!
