Easter!

What EASTER means to me:

What does Easter eggs and chocolate have to do with Easter?

The story of the Easter Bunny is thought to have

become common in the 19th Century.

Rabbits usually give birth to a big litter of babies (called kittens),

so they became a symbol of new life.

Legend has it that the Easter bunny lays, decorates and

hides eggs as they are also a symbol of new life.

Easter eggs represent the Holy Trinity:

Egg shell - God the protector

Egg White - The Holy Spirit

Egg yolk - Jesus Christ (the beginning)

What Easter means to me is remembering the death

and celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

He died on Good Friday to cleanse our sins.

After three days, he rose from the dead, then ascended

up to heaven to his heavenly father.

The bible says that he sits on the right hand of God.

How the Easter bunny story and

the resurrection of Jesus are connected:

Jesus Christ and the Easter eggs is a symbol of new life.

Jesus died to cleanse us from sins, which means

to forgive our sins we have made.

Then, we can live a new, non-sinful life.

The Easter eggs are also a symbol of new life,

because they represent the birth

of a newborn baby.

The chocolate Easter eggs are a

gift to little children like us,

because the church leaders did not

allow chocolate during Holy Week.
