Many hands made light work of decorating the huge Cathedral.Many hands made light work of decorating the huge Cathedral. On Holy Saturday, April 15, many members of the Cathedral of the Incarnation joined together to transform the inside of this beautiful Garden City landmark into a spring garden for the celebration of Easter. It took a lot of manual labor and artistic talent but the results were magnificent. The Easter decorations will remain in the church until the plants are distributed to those who are sick or unable to get out to church. The Cathedral is open during the week and of course on Sundays. All are invited to drop by and enjoy the beauty of Cornelia Stewart's gift to our village in her husband Alexander's memory.
