MORE than 50 youngsters from across Blackburn are having an eggs-tra special holiday learning all sorts of new skills and the meaning of Easter.

St Francis' Church, Feniscliffe, Blackburn, is hosting a holiday club until tomorrow and activities include painting, calligraphy, cooking, drama and music.

This year's club is entitled "The Story of the First Holy Week and Easter" and over the three days the youngsters will learn about Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, and Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection.

The club is being run by Father John O'Connor and his wife, Ann.

Oliver Hunt, Laura Pryce and Rebecca Norayan are pictured working on a church magazine with Blackburn diocese communication officer Martyn Halsall.
