BUTLER TWP — Malachi Shaw, 8, got an up close and personal look at the story of Easter on Saturday, April 19, which gave him a better appreciation for the holiday and the story behind it.

The 14 stations of the cross were condensed into “Easter in Five Letters” on Saturday at North Main Street Church Church of God, with each letter in “Jesus” being a different station that told the story of his crucifixion and offered a craft to go with it.

Malachi, a parishioner of the church, would be baptized at the church at its Easter service the next day, and said on Saturday that the station with Jesus’ tomb was his favorite.

“I feel thankful that God died for our sins,” Malachi said.
