It's almost Easter!!! Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. Celebrating our Savior's resurrection has always brought me such joy, as I pray it brings you as well! So, needless to say, I am going to share with you guys five of my favorite things to do on Easter that are completely Christ-centered!
A rather common tradition, but one which was always made special by the symbolism in each gift. I always receive a chocolate cross and little lamb (which I will refer to later on) which served as faithful and sweet reminders of my Savior's sacrifice and triumph.
My family was never really big on "easter egg hunts", but my parents did have a dozen of those plastic colored eggs. But they did not hide chocolate in them, I can tell you that. My parents would scatter all 12 Resurrection Eggs around the yard. And after I found each one, I would put them in numerical order, by the number written on each one. Then I would open them in that order. Each egg contained a Bible verse printed on a strip of paper and a little object telling the story of Christ's Last Supper, betrayal, suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection.
Though a seemingly simple tradition, this was always one of my favorite traditions because it gave me the chance to read the story out loud and helped me to hide it in my heart from a tender age (Proverbs 119:11).
1. Lambs, Lambs, and more Lambs!
Every Easter I get a lamb to remind me of my Savior as the Lamb of God. Now, when I was little, I would receive a little stuffed lamb…..
And that concludes this post! I hope you enjoyed these ideas!! Now, go celebrate our Savior's resurrection and don't forget to make wonderful memories to last a lifetime!
