We invite you to enjoy Easter art and learn about Pitcairn Easter traditions in this 20th-century castle.
This one-hour guided tour features the Easter story illustrated through medieval works of art in stained glass, sculpture, and painting. The biblical narrative involves tremendous sadness, followed by great joy; key episodes highlighted on this tour include the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and the Ascension of Christ into heaven. Visitors also learn how Easter was celebrated at Glencairn by the Pitcairn family. Access to the exhibition, Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal, is included with your tour admission.
