Book Review List Easter Easter Book List Check out the following family-friendly list of books that will help your child understand the whole Easter Story. 1. The Biggest Story ABC Written by Kevin DeYoung Illustrated by Don Clark A board book that condenses the Bible into an A to Z description of God’s purpose and plan for creation. Beginning with Adam and Eve, and finishing with Zion, this book captures the great rescue story in a simple yet deep way. 2. The Easter Story - Ready, Set, Find by Vanessa Carroll This board book has been designed as a ‘spot the’ book. Each double page spread features an illustrated scene to make a scripture passage, with 8 key pictures of items to find in the illustration. Perfect for inquisitive eyes as they read about Jesus’ journey into Jerusalem, his Last Supper, his death, resurrection, and appearing to the disciples after he had risen. 3. The Story of Easter by Fiona Boon A small book with beautiful illustrations and rhyming text that gives a simple introduction to Jesus’ death and resurrection for young children and adults to read together. Complete with the Lord’s Prayer at the end of the book. 4. The Beginner’s Bible ‘The Very First Easter’ by ZonderKidz Readers will learn about the events leading up to Jesus’ death and resurrection, helping them to understand a little more about why we celebrate Easter. It concludes with Jesus’ ascension. This is a great book for early independent readers. Each paraphrased story includes ALL of the relevant scripture references so you can direct children to the full story in a Bible. 5. The First Easter by Sally Ann Wright and Honor Ayres This book may be small, but it contains great detail about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Featuring key stories from the Bible, children will learn about the God who made them and all creation. The great thing about this book is that it not only features the key Easter events, but also life post Jesus’ death and resurrection (including Pentecost, the work of Peter and the Apostles in Acts, and Paul). 6. The Lost Sheep AN EASTER STORY series by Andrew McDonough These books are part of an ongoing series being written by Australian author Andrew McDonough (from Adelaide). Each book retells key Bible stories using a mixture of animal and human characters, with the most famous being Cecil the sheep. Andrew successfully manages to incorporate humour into his stories, without losing meaning. At the end of each book you will find a Parent guide on how to engage with your child in discussion about the events and meaning of the story. There are currently 5 ‘An Easter Story’ books available: The Way of the Cross; Dave the Donkey; Mary and the Gardener; Peter and the Rooster; and Peter and the Big Breakfast 7. The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross by Carl Lafteron Another brilliant book that manages to capture the amazing story of the whole Bible in a short, children’s story. The message of God’s love and humanity’s sin is clearly articulated and the significance of the curtain is explained in the most profound way. This storybook, together with its beautiful illustrations, will explain to the read why Jesus died and rose again, and how they can be part of the story. 8. The Story of Three Trees retold by Steven Robinson This book is a retelling of the traditional tale of three trees that served in God’s mysterious plan. Featuring three children at the heart of the story, this tale tells of how they planted, prayed for, and looked after these young trees. It then jumps forward to when woodsmen come over 100 years later, sharing their plans to create items from the wood of the trees - a treasure box, a fishing boat, and to sell for burnt offerings. This sweet story shares with us how often we don’t see God’s greater purpose in life’s picture, but to trust in his goodness and plan. St Bart’s Kids Purposeful Parenting 2019 Easter Other Resources List 1. MUSIC: Children’s Easter Themed CDs Boss of the Cross by Colin Buchanan (Over 70 minutes of Easter-themed songs that teach of God’s plan for life, hope, and glory - achieved in Jesus’ death and resurrection.) A Very Veggie Easter by Veggietales (A blend of Veggietales songs and classic Easter celebration hymns.) 2. VIDEO CLIPS: Youtube There are hundreds of video clips relevant to Easter, but finding ones that are appropriate for children and Biblically accurate can be difficult. We’ve sourced a few that we think are great for kids: Saddleback Kids: The Story of Easter (The Triumphal Entry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-39h0xYqdE Saddleback Kids: The Story of Easter (Jesus’ Sacrifice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL8R158Ujp4&t=193s The Bible Society: The Super Cool Story of Jesus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6kmDligfKU The Bible Society: The Seriously Surprising Story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndtnZV-5QTo&amp=&t=4s Crossroads Kids’ Club: God’s Story - Easter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ4gQniUVO8 Animated the Easter Story (Australian Narrated) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3UKd6LQKng BrickBrosProductions: LEGO The Passion of Christ (StopMotion Animation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3PBJwA3HHE 3. ACTIVITY: DIY RESURRECTION EGGS As an alternative to purchasing commercial Resurrection Eggs, why not make a set together as a family. Check out this website for a list of items needed to make the set. They also have an amazing printable ‘Easter Story Book’ which can be printed smaller to include in each egg to explain the meaning of each of the symbols. https://lifeyourway.net/diy-ressurection-eggs-easter-story-book-printables/ 4. ACTIVITY: Passover Meal If you’ve never attended a passover or Seder meal, you might think it unusual or not for you if you’re not from a Jewish background. However, participating in a Passover Meal can be extremely meaningful, particularly around Easter time. This link (Walking through Holy Week) is an excellent resource that takes you through all of the elements needed to host a passover meal - it even has a shopping list, recipes, table setting guide, and explanation of each step of the meal. http://media.focusonthefamily.com/fotf/pdf/magazine/walk-thru-holy-week.pdf 5. ACTIVITY: Decorating EGGS An activity that has been done for decades (and certainly is a huge tradition in European countries). Start with either blown eggs (hollow, delicate shell) or hard-boiled eggs (that you’ll eat later). Then, you just need to decide on how you want them decorated - the options are endless. This link is for those who are more craft-savvy and looking for something to do to revive this tradition with their older tradition: https://www.worthingcourtblog.com/5-on-friday-my-5-favorite-easter-egg-decorations/ 6. ACTIVITY: Play Dough Mats Pull out the play dough and print off a few of these simple Play Dough mats to create a reusable activity that will keep the children amused for ages. This website has a bunch of Easter (and other Bible-themed) play dough mats that will suit a variety of ages. http://flamecreativekids.blogspot.com/p/play-ough.html 7. ACTIVITY: Christ-Centred Easter Egg Hunt Bring the real meaning to a traditional Easter Egg Hunt as your children discover ‘God’s Easter gifts’ hidden in the eggs. Use reusable, coloured plastic eggs, with a different ‘God’s Easter Gift’ card. At the end, perhaps share some choc eggs while you sort through the cards and talk about the gifts God has given us through his Son, Jesus. https:// christcenteredholidays.com/christian-easter-egg-hunt/ 8. PRINTABLES: Lost Sheep Book Series Resources. The Lost Sheep website has an immense amount of resources for Churches, Schools, and Families to help supplement their printed books. Check out the Parent Resource Page to find interactive story telling, video recordings of the books being read, printable bookmarks, worksheets, and more! https://www.lostsheep.com.au/parents/ 9.

Check out this site that include six different verses surrounding the resurrection. https://www.ishouldbemoppingthefloor.com/2018/03/colorful-printable-easter-bible.html 10. ACTIVITY BOOKS: Various Consider gifting an activity book in lieu of chocolates this year - there are heaps of wonderful activity and colouring books specific to Easter that will keep your child occupied for hours!

  • LIVING FAITH EASTER SUNDAY April 4, 2021 the GOSPEL for TODAY Luke 24:1-12
    LIVING FAITH EASTER SUNDAY April 4, 2021 THE GOSPEL FOR TODAY Luke 24:1-12 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’ Then they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened. TAKING THE GOSPEL HOME Happy Easter! The women came to the tomb early in the morning to complete the burial rites for Jesus. Imagine their surprise when they found the huge, heavy stone rolled away, and the tomb empty! That empty tomb changed everything.

  • The Chocolate Easter Egg in South Central Pennsylvania: Cracking a Seasonal Tradition
    The Chocolate Easter Egg in South Central Pennsylvania: Cracking a Seasonal Tradition By: Mira Johnson and David J. Puglia Abstract: Each February, South Central Pennsylvania residents see signs for chocolate Easter eggs sold by local churches. An old recipe, the chocolate Easter egg became a widespread community tradition in the mid-to-late twentieth century in response to dwindling church attendance and revenues. This locally invented regional Easter egg tradition became so successful, it has literally built churches. In this research note, we report on results from fieldwork in the Middletown area that led us to consider the production of chocolate Easter eggs as a food event. We apply Camp’s multi-activity, multi-themed food event concept to the church productions’ physical manifestations, social organization, use of occasion, and strategies. We see the church-made chocolate Easter egg as an emergent Dauphin County confectionary tradition whose importance exceeds mere consumption, creating a sense of communitas in participating congregations and communities, orienting them to the calendar year, and providing opportunities for Christian outreach and fundraising. Keywords: chocolate, egg, church fundraiser, Easter, spring customs, Pennsylvania Months before Easter in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, jewel-colored treasure troves of foil-wrapped, chocolate-covered, peanut butter eggs, and their humbler cousins in wax paper packets, appear beside cash registers at gas stations, card shops, and pizza joints. Beyond the region, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg and the Cadbury Crème Egg dominate the Easter season, but in this corner of South Central Pennsylvania, chocolate eggs hand-dipped by retirees at local churches are coveted Easter basket fare (See Photos 1- 3).

  • Kids Time Easter Egg-Citement Theme the Resurrection of Jesus Christ
    Kids time Easter Egg-citement Theme The Resurrection of Jesus Christ Object An Easter basket with four plastic eggs. A small cross, three nails, a stone. Scripture Matthew 28:6 He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. Mark 16:6 But he *said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; see, here is the place where they laid Him. Good morning boys and girls. How many of you plan to have an Easter egg hunt today? As you can see, I have my Easter basket ready. When I was a boy, we used real eggs which we decorated ourselves. I guess some people still do that, but I think most people use plastic eggs like these. Usually, there is a piece of candy or perhaps a small toy inside. The eggs in my Easter basket are very special, because each of them will teach us something which will show us exactly what Easter really means Inside the first egg is a cross. The cross reminds me that Jesus willingly carried his cross to Calvary to die for my sins. No one told him he had to do it, he did it because he knew that was the only way that I would ever get to heaven. God loved me so much that He sent His only begotten Son so that I could have everlasting life. Inside the second egg are three nails.

  • The Story of Mary Magdalene and the First Easter Egg
    The Story of Mary Magdalene and the First Easter Egg getfed.com/mary-magdalene-first-easter-egg-6029/ April 6, 2017 Mary Magdalene has a special place among Jesus' disciples. It was St. Mary Magdalene's great love for Christ that kept her standing at the foot of the Cross, weeping and grief-stricken, until her Savior died. It was her heartbreaking pain of loss that drove her to his tomb at the first light of day in order to anoint his body. As a reward for her great love and faithfulness, she is the privileged person to whom Jesus first appeared on Easter Sunday morning; she was the very first witness of the Resurrection. It was Mary Magdalene, a woman, who went and told the Apostles that Jesus had risen from the dead; for this she is called "Apostle to the Apostles." After Jesus' Resurrection and Ascension, Mary Magdalene continued her mission as an evangelizer, contemplative, and mystic in the heart of the Church. 1/4 MARY MAGDALENE AND THE EASTER EGG According to tradition, after Jesus' Ascension into heaven, the Magdalene—a wealthy woman of some importance—boldly presented herself to the Emperor Tiberius Caesar in Rome to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus Christ, with an egg in hand to illustrate her message. Holding the egg out to him, she exclaimed for the first time what is now the universal Easter proclamation among Christians, "Christ is risen!" The emperor, mocking her, said that Jesus had no more risen than the egg in her hand was red. Immediately, the egg turned red as a sign from God to illustrate the truth of her message.

  • Lent Egg Instructions.Indd
    Thanks to Lisa Bergman for the photo Lent Eggs Lent can be a challenge when it comes to presenting the richness of this Catholic season to children. To encourage our family to grow spiritually we have devised what we call Lent Eggs. We took the idea from Resurrection Eggs. Resurrection Eggs are twelve plastic eggs designed to help families explore the story of the Passion of Jesus. Inside each egg is a small trinket that gives a hint for that part of the Passion story. Each egg is opened. Everyone tries to figure out what piece of the story is represented by the item inside and then there is a discussion about it. In this bigger, Catholic version, the Passion story is broken up into forty pieces, one for each day of Lent. This expanded version explores the story of the Passion in much greater depth, incorporating the Stations of the Cross and the seven last words of Christ. Each day of Lent we open one of the eggs, use the clue to figure out what piece of the story we will be exploring, read a scripture passage or meditation, look at a few fine art depictions of the event and have a discussion about that part of the Passion. Every year we seem to hit different aspects of the story. It makes the tradition really interesting. One thing I really appreciate about the Lent eggs is that they are so flexible and adaptable to the ages of the kids. Just change the meditations and dig deeper into the story as they get older.

  • EASTER EGGS Easter Egg Traditions
    HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL Ostenvoche OSTERSITTEN UND BRAUCHE I CUSTOMS and TRADITIONS OSTEREIER/ EASTER EGGS Easter egg traditions An egg bunt is a game during which decorated eggs, real hard-boiled ones or artificial ones filled with, or made ofc hocolate candies, of various sizes, are hidden for children to find, b<>tb indoors and outdoors.rio1 When the hunt is over, prizes may be given for the largest number of eggs collected, or for the largest or the smallest egg_ 1io1 Real eggs may further be used in egg tapping contests. 1n the North of England, at Eastertime, a traditional game is played where hard boiled pace eggs are distributed and each player hits the other player's egg with their own. This is known as "egg tappi ng", "egg dumping" or "eggjarping". The winner is the holder of the last intact egg. The losers get to eat their eggs. The annual egg jarping world championship is held every year over Easter in Peterlee Cricket Club. It is also practiced in Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Lebanon, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, lJkraine_, and other countries. They call it tucanje. In parts of Austria, Bavaria and German-speaking Switzerland it is called Ostereierlitschen or Eierpecken. In parts of Europe it is also called epper, presumably from the German name Opfer, meaning "offering" and in Greece it is known as tsougrisma. In South Louisiana this practice is called Pocking Eggsl 11 H121and is slightly different. The Louisiana Creoles hold that the winner eats the eggs of the losers in each round. The central European Slavic nations (Czechs and Slovaks etc.) have a tradition of gathering eggs by gaining them from the females in return of whipping them with a pony-tail shaped whip made out of fresh willow branches and splashing them with water, by the Ruthenians called polivanja, which is supposed to give them health and beauty.
