Easter Symbols and Activities

Easter is the most important feast day in the Christian church.

People decorate homes with colored Easter eggs, put out baskets for the Easter bunny to fill, give Easter lilies as gifts, and even eat traditional foods, from lamb to ham to special sweet breads . 

The egg, an ancient symbol of new life, has been associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring.

  Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century, according to some sources .

Easter Eggs

The Easter bunny is a magical bunny who loves children and gives them treats and hides special eggs to help us all celebrate spring. If you leave a basket out for the Easter Bunny they will fill it up with treats.

The Lamb Represents Jesus, "the Lamb of God".

The Cross Symbolizes Jesus' victory over death.

The Cross

Hot cross buns, hot cross buns! Traditionally, this delicious sweet bun was served on Good Friday, the Friday prior to Easter. Good Friday marks the end of Lent and is the day that Jesus died on the cross. The sweet bun is marked with a cross to help the bread rise and as a visible sign that the bread was “blessed.”

Easter games

This outdoor game is great fun for adults and kids. Use hard-boiled eggs for this game unless you are willing to clean up the mess of a couple of dozen broken raw eggs.

The players are divided into two teams.

Each team is divided into two groups, one at Point A, one at Point B.

Egg and spoon race

The first player is given an egg to carry in a regular tablespoon from Point A to Point B.

At that point, the egg and spoon are handed off to the next competitor, who carries it back to Point A to the next competitor.

A dropped egg means that the person carrying the egg must go back to the starting point.

The first team to complete the relay wins.
