Newbury's Easter banners

Two stunning five metre Easter banners will greet visitors to the church hall at St Nicolas in Newbury this Holy Week.

The church’s Banner Making Group are busy putting the finishing touches to the collages which depict Good Friday, in dark sombre colours to encourage thought and reflection, and Easter Sunday (part of which is pictured above), in bright colours celebrating the empty tomb, new life and hope. 

The project was designed by Jane Sutton, LLM, and has involved all ages, from three-years to adult. Special thanks go to Jane’s Sewing Shop opposite the church who generously donated free material.
