The miracle of Easter is SO big that we simply cannot celebrate it on just one Sunday! To fully explore our new lives in the Risen Christ, the Church gives us the gift of the Great Fifty Days of Easter. We celebrate Easter until the Day of Pentecost - which means there are SEVEN Sundays to rejoice! The activities below will help you and your family share in the wonder of Easter together!
This fun craft is made using oil pastels. This could be a fun project to do between dinner and dessert on Easter Sunday. Let older kids help the younger ones!
