2013 Palm Sunday

Our resurrection garden!  This year we are  going full steam ahead with lots of activities during Holy week!  You plant a garden with wheat berries and a small pot for the tomb.  You plant them Saturday or Palm Sunday and you should have grass by Easter

Instead of Bunnies and chicks, we decorate with sheep (Lamb of God) and donkey's (green colt ridden on Palm Sunday)

Oriental trading Company has a lot of things for a religious Easter celebration, so we bought these (they came in a dozen so each kid makes one and then we send the extras to family members).  It is all the things that happens during Holy week on a wreath.  We put it on our chandelier and the kids love talking about it over meals.

Resurrection eggs.  These are a purchased set that I altered a little.  I bought them because they had things like a chalice and cross that I could not make, but then I added items like a small piece of a sponge to talk about vinegar given to Jesus on the cross, etc.  There are many printable versions and homemade options.  We use them to read every night for scripture study and set up the items on a tray to look at suring the next day
