Los Huevos de Resurrección son mi técnica favorita para explicar la historia de la Pascua. Es una forma visual para recorrer el domingo de pasión al domingo de Pascua. Cada huevo contiene un artículo pequeño destinado a proporcionar un recordatorio de una parte de la historia bíblica. Podemos usar los tradicionales Cascarones Mejicanos. No olvide colocar la cita biblica en un papel en cada huevo.

Instrucciones

1. Numere los huevos, en orden, con un marcador y colóquelo en el cartón.

2. Lea las escrituras bíblicas relacionadas con cada huevo.

3. Después de leer el pasaje bíblico, abrir el huevo.

Felices Pascuas!

Reading Activity

Read Benjamin's Box: The Story of the Resurrection Eggs (2008)
to follow the story of the Resurrections Eggs

Comment about this book: This story goes along with the Egg's activity. If you are Catholic, this book has one sentence in the Last Supper section that refers to the Eucharist as "symbolic" rather than his actual flesh and blood, as in Catholic doctrine. Otherwise, this book is a great visual to teach the Easter Story. Note: I did a little change to the Resurrection Eggs to follow the full Gospel truth.

Polish Easter Basket and Easter Books

My first Święconka

Polish parishioners have shared this early-medieval tradition with our Anglo community. This year, I adopted this richly symbolic custom and prepared my first Święconka, meaning the blessing of the Easter Baskets.

The Baskets contain a sampling of Easter foods to be blessed on Holy Saturday for gatherings on Easter Sunday, but you can add additional items to the basket such as a good Easter Book.
The food in the Polish Easter Basket is similar to the Jewish Passover Menu.

Prepare Polish Easter Basket

The foods in the baskets have a symbolic meaning as follow:

Eggs - symbolize life and Christ's resurrection

Bread - symbolic of Jesus

Lamb - represents Christ

Salt - represents purification.

Horseradish - symbolic of the bitter sacrifice of Christ

Ham - symbolic of great joy and abundance

One excellent advice to prepare the Easter Basket for children is:

"My favorite rule for an Easter basket is something to read, something for prayer, something to do, and something to wear. Within that rule, you can create something that fits the child’s age and interests, and your budget every year."

We are all connected in one way or another in faith and traditions.This year, I selected these readings to celebrate diverse traditions during Easter's Sunday:

Compare and Contrast Reading Activities:

Read: Tekla’s Easter (1962) and Catherine’s Pascha (2015) Children's Stories.

Both books tell the story of one little girl who is celebrating Easter.

The Eastern and Western point of view had one thing in common:

Celebrate Easter with family and church community.
