Christ-Centered Easter Ideas
As Jesus Christ continues to teach His followers, one thing becomes clear—Jesus has a deep knowledge and love of the scriptures. Throughout the week, Jesus often quotes the very scriptures He’s fulfilling. For those who listen, prophecies that were by then hundreds of years old become powerful and new. Suddenly, the scriptures don’t seem so ancient. With the help of Jesus Christ, they see that the word of God does not have an expiration date. No matter what era we live in, we can find peace in the powerful parallels between the scriptures and our own lives.

Make, Fill, and Light an Oil Lamp
Make with clay with the video tutorial linked or buy a clay 1st-century shaped lamp online. Read the parable of the 10 Virgins (Matt. 25:1-13 & more mentioned in D&C 45:56-59). Fill the lamp with oil you have at home, add a wick of fabric and light to watch it glow and last for hours.

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.
