Why do we celebrate Easter?

• We remember that Jesus died on the cross.

• On Easter Sunday, we remember that Jesus rose from the dead.

• Easter comes at the end of Lent.

#

What symbols do we use and why?

• Rabbits, chicks and lambs.

• All these animals are born in Spring and are symbols of new life.

#

More symbols.

• The cross - because Jesus died on the cross.

• We eat hot cross buns - the cross on the top reminds us of Jesus’ death.

#

Even more symbols.

• Easter eggs!• These represent new life (chicks hatch

from eggs)• They also help us to remember the stone

in front of the tomb that was rolled away.• (We also eat them because they are

yummy!)
