CBC Showcase: Holidays Around the World
Before there were Easter celebrations, there was the first Easter. Nikki Grimes uses poetry to explore the thoughts and feelings of the witnesses.
by Nikki Grimes, illustrated by David Frampton
A man in the crowd at Jerusalem vies to see Jesus; a disciple recounts details of the Last Supper; Pilate s wife fears her husband s decision. Beginning with Christ's triumphant arrival in Jerusalem, Nikki Grimes explores the first Easter through the voices of those who witnessed it.
The author's introductions provide a thoughtful framework, and David Frampton's beautifully intricate and expressive woodcuts illuminate each poem. At Jerusalem s Gate offers readers of all ages insight into the most important moments in Christian history.
