4 Easy Ways to Celebrate the True Meaning of Easter With your K >April 20, 2019





I love to celebrate Easter! It’s by far my favorite holiday of the year. But sometimes with all the world around us advertising chocolate, candy and bunnies my kids forget why we celebrate Easter.



So every year, I do a few things that keep us focused.



1. Read the Easter story from the scriptures:



The Last Supper



Matthew 26:17-30, Mark 14:12-25, Luke 22:7-23



Judas Betrays Jesus



John 18:1-13, Luke 22:1-6, Luke 22:47-54, Matthew 26:47-56, Mark 14:43-50



Crucifixion of Jesus



Matthew 27:1-54, Mark 15:1-40, Luke 23:1-48, John 19:1-30



Resurrection of Jesus



Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20



2. Celebrate the Passover





On the Thursday before Good Friday our family gathers together with a few other families and have a passover meal. The meal is rich with symbolism and tells the story of Moses and Elijah and our Savior in a way that the kids can remember.





Here is a movie of this years passover meal:





3. Good Fr >



Every Good Friday I wake up before the kids and take garbage bags to all the windows. I cover them and pull all the curtains and blinds. When the kids wake up the house is dark. Whenever we have guests and they ask ‘why are your windows dark?’ all my kids answer, ‘because without Jesus there is no light’. This easy and simple illustration costs no money, takes very little time, yet teaches a profound lesson. We leave our windows blacked out, even throughout the day until Easter Sunday.



4. Easter Sunday





Easter Sunday is our favorite day! When Easter Sunday arrives I take off the blinds and turn back on the lights. It reminds us that with Jesus there is light!





The kids wake up to the the bright, beautiful sunshine. The table is set with our best dishes and pictures of Jesus displayed around the home. We usually have a basket or gift for each child. I like to include a book about Jesus, and a few eggs filled with treats for them to eat. I always leave one egg empty to remind them that on Easter Sunday the tomb was empty because He Has Risen!



Thats it, I’d love to hear what your favorite traditions for celebrating the true meaning of Easter are! XOXO

Ask a Question Related Articles References Marrying someone who already has children can be a challenge, but it can also be an immense blessing. As a step-parent, you get to serve as friend and mentor to the child--you don't have to try to step in as a third parent. Focus on building good rapport with your stepchild and fostering mutual respect and trust. Also, keep in mind that this can be a major adjustment for yourself and the child. They may never fully accept you the way you'd like, but just do your best to develop a civil relationship with them. Method 1 Showing Interest in the Child 1 Initiate a connection, but let the child set the pace.  Allow your stepchild to define the relationship they’d like to have with you. Express your interest, but leave the ball in their court as to how they want to move forward. [1...
