Here are the first lot of our ‘find the cross’ pictures. Thanks to Elliot and Isa for the fabulous scarecrow and to Ann for the crosses she saw as she was out and about.

As we head towards Easter, the Cross will come ever more into view – the central symbol of the Christian faith.

Generally speaking, we find Crosses set within church buildings or worn as jewellery. But when we open our eyes to the possibility, we can begin to see images of the Cross all around us – in both nature and the built environment.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it: find a Cross that is hidden in plain sight and using your camera, or your phone, take a photograph of it. Perhaps it will be two branches on a tree which form a Cross shape. Perhaps you’ll see a Cross in a section of wrought-iron fencing. Maybe you’ll see it in the cross in a set of road markings or in a random piece of graffiti?

The only limit is your imagination. Open your eyes and you’ll see that the Cross is all around you.

Submit your photographs to sundayschool@standrewsbaillieston.co.uk via email or send them via our Facebook page and we will display them here on our website and on our Facebook page.

This idea actually came from the Moderator of the General Assembly and he is running it as a competition. Further information can be found on the Church of Scotland website should you wish to enter.
