Easter is a time when family and friends come together to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a time of joy, reflection and celebration. There are many ways to enjoy the Easter holiday, from attending religious services to hunting for Easter eggs or indulging in traditional foods. Here are eight activities that you can do this Easter season:
1. Attend an Easter Service: No matter what your faith, attending an Easter service can be a beautiful way to reflect on the meaning of the holiday and celebrate with your community.
2. Egg Hunt: A classic activity perfect for kids, egg hunts are fun and festive! Hide plastic eggs around your home or yard filled with small treats like chocolate coins or other candy and let the children search for them!
3. Decorate Eggs: Whether you’re dying eggs, sticking on confetti and glitter, or using markers to draw designs, decorating eggs is a fun family activity and makes for beautiful decorations.
4. Easter Brunch: Invite your friends and family over for a delicious Easter brunch! Whip up some classic dishes like deviled eggs, quiche, or hot cross buns for a special occasion meal.
5. Bake Hot Cross Buns: Speaking of hot cross buns, baking them from scratch is another great way to celebrate the season! The traditional spiced bun symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is served with butter or jam.
6. Make an Easter Basket: Get creative in the kitchen making an edible basket out of cupcakes or muffins! Fill the basket with small treats like m&ms, gummy bears and jellybeans.
7. Take Photos: Capture memories of your Easter celebrations by taking pictures of family and friends doing activities together. Have a mini photoshoot while decorating eggs or going on an egg hunt!
8. Spend Time Together: Most importantly, use this time to reconnect with family and friends that you may not get to see very often throughout the year. Enjoy each other’s company, relax and take the time to appreciate life’s blessings! No matter what activity you choose this Easter season, make sure to enjoy it with those who matter most. From all of us here, Happy Easter!
