We had our good friends the Knights over for FHE and dinner on Monday. We wrapped up Easter with a thing called "Resurrection Eggs". Sister B had done a sharing time with them and I was soooooo excited to bring the idea home. You have 12 eggs and put things in them that have to do with the Easter story. The kids found the hidden eggs and then took turns opening them as a I gave a short synopsis of what each item was.
1. Sacrament Cup (To remember the last supper and the blood spilt in Gethsemane)
2. 30 cents and a kiss (To remember the 30 pieces of silver that Judas betrayed for and what he did so the soldiers would know who was Jesus)
3. Cord or Rope (To remember that Jesus was bound and taken to Caiaphas)
4. Soap (To remember that Pilate washed his hands before he granted the mobs wish to crucify Jesus)
5. Dice (To remember that the soldiers cast lots for Jesus' coat, instead of tearing it)
6. Red cloth (To remember the scarlet robe they put on Jesus, mocking him)
7. Cross and nail (To remember Jesus was crucified)
8. Dirt (To remember the earth shook and groaned when Jesus gave up the ghost)
9. Salt and White cloth (To remember the women who cried as they prepared His body in white linen type cloth to be buried)
10. Herbs (To remember Jesus' body was anointed)
11. Large circle rock (To remember the large stone place in front of Jesus' tomb)
12. Empty (To remember that He is risen!)
New Easter Sunday tradition!!! Hooray!!!
