On March 25th at our Porcupine Mission Church on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation a large wood cross helped to apply and teach the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the end of the service everyone was given a nail and ask to come forward to write our name on small piece of paper, (using Red ink to remind us of Jesus Blood) and then with a hammer, pound that nail with the paper to the cross. This was to teach that Christ died for all our sins and that it is His Blood alone that covers us and takes away our sins. The large red heart of course reminds us of the greatest gift of love we could ever receive. The gift of God's only Son, Jesus, to suffer and die that we might have life.
