What is Easter?

Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let's read the easter story and see why it i s a special holiday.

The Story of Easter →

Jesus Loved His Friends.

He washed their feet. Then He gave them the sacrament. He told them to remember Him and love one another.

Later, Jesus went to a garden.

He played for all of us. He felt the pain of our sickness. He felt the pain of our sins.

Angry people took Jesus away.

They hurt Him. He died on the cross for us. His Friends put His body in a tomb.

Three days later,

His friends came back. The tomb was empty! Angels told them, “He is risen.” Jesus was alive again! Because of Jesus, we will all live again after we die.

Jesus loves me.

I can make Easter special by remembering Him.

The Life and Mission of Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is the greatest being to be born on this earth - our perfect example. He is Lord of lords, the Creator, and our Savior, and He came to Earth so that we could live with God again.

4.Easter Egg Hunting

Have you ever heard about Easter Egg Hunt? Easter is a religious holiday, but some of its customs, such as Easter eggs, are likely linked to pagan traditions.

Let's pray Easter Egg Hunting!

What you need?

- Plastic Easter Egg cases(You can buy online) OR use #3 eggs
-Snacks that can be put in the case

How to Egg Hunt

1. Put the snacks into the egg case
2. Hide the eggs in your house
3. Find the eggs! and count the number!

The egg, an ancient symbol of new life, has been associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring. From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus’ emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century, according to some sources. One explanation for this custom is that eggs were formerly a forbidden food during the Lenten season, so people would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration.
