Pinteresting Tuesdays: Christ Centered Easter Ideas

Which one is your favorite??15 Christ-Centered Easter Ideas @ {RemarkableHome.net}
I love Jesus.  He is my Savior and my friend.  Easter is about His resurrection, and his atoning sacrifice for me and for all of us.  I try to find ways to keep Christ in Easter in my home.  I remind my kids what Easter is really about.  I remind them that eggs and chicks and bunnies are symbolic of new life, re-birth, resurrection.  I remind them that lambs symbolize the Lamb of God.  I try.  But with the ever increasing commercialism of religious holidays it can be hard to keep the focus on the true subject of celebration.  So, I have been looking for more obvious ways to keep Christ our focus at Easter-time.  This round up contains the ideas I have found.  I hope those of you who worship Jesus will enjoy this post!

This is a fabulous dinner where all the food is symbolic. Definitely check it out! Such great ideas and more fun than ham and funeral potatoes.


I love this one! Create a resurrection garden! Isn’t this awesome??



A wonderful Easter color subway art with some of Christ’s names.



Love this simple banner with a great message!

We have done this as a family for years.  Resurrection eggs.  There are many different versions out there….

We have a homemade one as well and a store bought one.  I like our homemade one better.  This pin link will take you to a place to buy one or give you directions for making on.  I’m not sure mine has the same things as this one, but it’s the general idea.  I love the lettering on this one.



Isn’t this stunning?  The red eggs represent the blood Christ shed for us.  The white represent his purity and perfection.  Beautiful!



These are resurrection cookies.  You make them with your kids the night before Easter.  They sit in the oven drying all night and in the morning they are hollow, like the empty tomb.



These are rolls that are the same idea as above.  They start with a marshmallow inside.  Yummy for Easter breakfast, plus a great object lesson.

 

An awesome Christ Centered Easter basket with FREE printables!  My own sister put this together! I am so excited to use her ideas!  She is super creative and amazing! Definitely spend some time on her Family Home Evening Blog!


This is a Christ centered Easter basket.  Also has other ideas for a Christ centered Easter.



Another Christ centered Easter basket with free printables to attach to different goodies to put in your baskets.



This is an amazing package a woman put together to send to a missionary.  It details the last week of Christ’s earthly life.  It would be great to send to a missionary, or just to read and discuss with your family in the week leading up to Easter.



This is a cute Easter Secret Service Idea.  Every time someone does an act of service, they put a bunny tail in the jar.  Cute poem to go along with it.



These are cute little Easter treats.  These are the empty tomb.  I’ve seen them done with one side of an Oreo as the door being rolled away….maybe a mini Oreo would be best.



Crown of thorns cookies.



I love these Subway art Easter eggs and though they would be so great with words about the Savior and/or resurrection on them.  For example, “Jesus, Savior, Blood, risen, saved, love, etc.”.
