Thank you to everyone who engaged with ‘Living Hope’, our Lent and Easter theme for 2025. We hope that it provided a chance for reflection, encouragement, and helped to build hope in your communities. We saw so many creative posts and responses over the Lent and Easter period, whether that was engaging with the Living Hope resources, sharing reflections on hope, or showcasing the dramatic journey through Holy Week. Here are some Easter social posts we saw that stood out for how they show tradition, celebration and community.
1. Palm Sunday parade at Bradford Cathedral
2. Easter egg hunt at Telford Minster
3. Maundy Thursday Reel at St Philips Chapel Street
4. Maundy Thursday procession at Derby Cathedral
5. Maundy Thursday lament at Christ Church Southgate
Tonight powerful in words, music, scent & action. We recalled the Last Supper, lamented as church was stripped & watched with Christ in the garden. #MaundyThursday #HolyWeek2025 @SouthgateChoir @TheOutsider40 @dioceseoflondon @churchofengland pic.twitter.com/Sf6lSAvlXG
