Preparing for Easter

Easter Sunday is the time when Christians celebrate Jesus coming back to life. There are lots of things to remind us of this because it is spring and new life is all around us.

Toby and his friends are visiting the baby animals on a farm, they even get to hold little chicks. Chicks hatch out of eggs and eggs are really important at Easter. Toby also picks lots of flowers for church from the church grounds. Picking flowers from your own garden with a grown-ups permission is fine but remember picking flowers, even daffodils from parks or grass verges isn't allowed.

Celebrating Easter

Toby and his family have hot cross buns for breakfast, the cross reminds us of the cross Jesus died on before he rose again. The bells ring at the church for the special day and Toby and his friends put their flowers on the cross, the cross is made out of wood from a recycled Christmas tree. Once the cross is finished it is taken into church for everyone to see.

Easter Story

Watch the Easter story about Jesus coming back to life, illustrated through beautiful sand paintings.听听

When Jesus died his body was put in a tomb and a big stone was put over the entrance so nobody could get in. Two days later, Jesus's friend Mary went to the tomb and discovered that the stone had been rolled away and Jesus's body was gone. At first Mary was really sad, who had taken her friend? But then she heard a voice, she turned around and saw Jesus, he was alive! Mary ran off to tell all of Jesus's friends that he'd come back to life. For many days afterwards Jesus met with Mary and his friends, he talked with them and ate with them, and taught them lots of things. Then he went home to heaven.
