Easter workshop inspired by the pinnacle of the cross on the tower of Jesus Christ

To share the meaning of Easter with the little ones, the Sagrada Família is hosting a workshop for families with children aged 6 to 12. The workshop will feature a special tour focusing on the Passion façade and have the children decorate a chocolate figure inspired by the pinnacle of the cross on the tower of Jesus Christ, in collaboration with Lluc Crusellas of Eukarya chocolates.

The Easter workshop will run from 21 March to 6 April.
