Christ-Centered Easter Ideas
Bread Dove Rolls
Bake some cute bird rolls and serve with soup or your Easter dinner. You can talk about the dove mentioned at the baptism of Jesus or when Jesus mentions sparrows in His Sermon on the Mount. There are lots of recipes online to fit your family’s needs.
Visit a Cemetery
I think this is a wonderful place to discuss the future resurrection. Cemeteries don’t always have to be sad and poignant, take your family and spread some Easter cheer! They can “hide” Resurrection plastic eggs with little scripture verses inside for others to find when they visit their deceased loved ones. You could use plastic eggs to write sweet words over the outside to uplift and encourage others. Teach your children to respect cemeteries early on.
Hot Cross Buns
They are beautiful and there are tons of recipes online that will suit your needs. The picture above has a recipe here.
Take turns washing each other’s feet
Be like the Savior and wash someone’s feet. You could each take turns or have the father wash all the children’s feet. Whatever works for your family. This can be done during the “Last Supper” meal and also a great time to read the scriptures about Jesus washing his disciples feet. (Matthew 20:25-27 & John 13:1-17)
Bake Lazarus Bread Rolls
Lazarakia (Little Lazarus Sweet Bread Rolls) are small, sweet, spiced Lenten bread rolls prepared and consumed on the Saturday before Palm Sunday. They mark the beginning of the Holy week and are a great way to celebrate and commemorate Jesus’ as a God of miracles.
