Residents of Juniper Village at Mount Joy mourned and celebrated all throughout Holy Week. Good Friday is a solemn day in which many Christians remember the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ. On Friday, April 14th, during a time of devotions and hymns individuals were able to confess, sing, pray, and meditate on the death of the Son of God. Come Sunday, April 16th, residents were rejoicing and singing praises to the Risen King during the mid-morning Easter worship service.
There were many other festivities happening Easter weekend. Residents followed Peter Cottontail on an Easter egg hunt up and down the halls for some exciting and rewarding exercise. Some residents were able to sit and reminisce on Easters past in which they wore big Easter bonnets or special new suits. Also, what would Easter be without painting eggs? Individuals clamored around a table to dye and paint Easter eggs, adding a sparkle to their eyes.
There was something offered for everyone to pause and celebrate Easter. It truly was a weekend of much happiness and pure joy!
