Forming faith rituals
Easter Eggs arrived in the shops ages ago, so it’s time to get thinking and planning about what we will do to make Easter a significant, special and spiritual occasion in our families.
For my children, I often focus on Holy Week, an eight-day period from Palm Sunday (2nd April) to Easter Sunday (9th April). We have sometimes looked for a local church doing a Palm Sunday parade, as this is a fun and easy way to get ourselves into the start of this week. Some churches even have a donkey, which is always a tick in my children’s boxes!

ArticleThe Garden the Curtain and the Cross is a great resource for Christian parents to try in the run up to Easter
As the last few remnants of the Christmas stock are in the seasonal sale aisle, in comes the chocolate eggs and hot cross buns. ‘Happy Easter’ is on bunting, hats, and toys everywhere we look. It can be difficult for Christian parents to navigate yet another consumer-hacked event in the calendar, as the colour pallet in the shops turns to pastel yellow, pink and green and the shelves are filled with chocolate eggs, and fluffy bunnies and chicks. So, how do Christian families manage this time of year as they explain the biblical account of the first Easter to children in a theologically accurate, yet age-appropriate way, especially as eggs, hot cross buns and bunnies can be easier to digest than sin, death and resurrection.
