Gory, Gory Hallelujah! Beastly Bible Stories
by Claire Benton-Evans
Youth & Children officer for the Diocese of Edinburgh
“I liked the hot cross buns and making the Easter cards,” said the mum of two
young children, “but I don’t think you should have told the children about Jesus
on the cross. It might have scared them.”
She had been in the room when we told the Good Friday story, so she knew that
we hadn’t gone for a Game of Thrones level of gore.
We had told the story simply and sadly: this is what happened to Jesus. Her
children didn’t look particularly scared, but she was worried about possible
nightmares!
