Easter is coming up, and as with Christmas, I thought it might be good to think about it how we celebrate it with our families and why we do so.
We celebrate Easter as the main historical event in which our faith is grounded - the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Lord and Saviour.
So, I thought over the next few weeks, it might be helpful to think about what we can do to keep this truth the central part of Easter, rather than an additional extra.
I will aim to look at:
1. How you could 'prepare' for Easter with your family.
I have written a 14-day "Preparing for Easter with your family" plan this year, which I will talk about, as well as some other things.
2. How you could celebrate the Easter weekend itself.
3. What to think about the Easter bunny, eggs and chocolate.
And perhaps other things as I think of them!
I am also planning to finish reading Treasuring God in Our Traditions, by Noel Piper and see what suggestions she has.
So, if you have any ideas on how to celebrate Easter in a Christ-centred way, either things your family does, or you have seen done by others - please let me know via a comment and I will collate some things for us all to share.
