The Easter story is told in all four Gospels of the New Testament, a narrative that includes tremendous sadness followed by great joy. Key episodes highlighted in this virtual tour include the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, and the Ascension of Christ into heaven. Attendees are invited to reflect on the power of the story of Christ’s death and Resurrection while viewing stained-glass windows, sculptures, and paintings in the Glencairn Museum collection. The tour will also describe the Pitcairn family’s Easter traditions when Glencairn was their home, including three Easter dioramas that were an important part of their celebration. At the end of the tour, participants are welcome to share stories of their own religious holiday traditions.
