CROSS VINE Anisostichus capreolata

On the Thursday before Easter many churches celebrate the Last Supper when Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you . . .” (John 13:34).

Every Easter the Church assembles to remember the Crucifixion of Jesus when He took upon Himself the sins of all the peoples of the world. He fulfilled the prophecy of John the Baptist when he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29.
