Simon and the Easter Miracle

Apicture book retelling of a traditional European tale with the events and meaning of the first Easter at its heartBoth thought-provoking and engaging, this is the storyofSimon of Cyrene "a man coming in from the country," as the Gospels refer to him who was ordered to carry Jesus' cross. Over the centuries, his story has been woven into Polish folklore; when Simon the farmer brings his wares to market, little does he expect how he will be involved in the events of that very special day, nor how his produce of bread, eggs, and wine will become important symbols of Jesus' passion and resurrection, remembered throughout the ages."
