Resurrection Day Traditions
Easter Advent Banner
In addition to the above ideas, we’re also planning to go through these devotional readings during our family worship time to help us focus on the most important aspects of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.

I love these ideas. It’s so nice to see things to do with your family.
Glad they were helpful!
So many lovely ideas Joy. I especially like the Advent Banner and how you can customize it or order they ready made cut out kit. What a great way to tell the story
Thank you! The Advent Banner has become one of our favorite traditions. My kids love it.
We do a Bible scavenger hunt with candy and other prizes at the end. I use biblegateway.com to look up verses to match common objects. Have them fill in the blank to figure out the next clue. For example "He prepares a ——- before me …." (table Psalm 23). At the table the next clue might be "the —— of the spirit is love, joy, peace…… (fruit in Galatians).
What a neat idea–thank you so much for sharing!
Hi Joy,
We do"'Easter in a basket." I use an empty basket with a handle and place in the middle of our kitchen table. At dinner beginning on Palm Sunday, we place palms (we get real ones at church/can make some out of construction paper) in the basket and read from scripture about the Triumphal Entry. At dinner on Monday-put bottle of perfume in basket & read the story of the woman who poured the perfume on Jesus' head. Tuesday's dinner-put small bowl & wash cloth in basket & read about how Jesus washed the disciples' feet. Wednesday's dinner-put 30 silver coins in basket & read about how Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Thursday's dinner-put a wine glass & bread in basket and read about the last supper. Friday's dinner-put a cross or crown or 3 nails in the basket and read the story of Jesus' death. Early Saturday, cover the basket with a black cloth to symbolize Jesus' time in the tomb & read Psalms 22. Early Sunday, remove the cloth & all items then add a real/fake flower to the basket & read about Jesus' resurrection!
I love your "Easter in a basket" idea, Deidre! That sounds like such a meaningful tradition–thank you so much for sharing it!
