Preparing for Easter

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!
