Why do we celebrate Easter?

• We remember that Jesus died on the cross.

• On Easter Sunday, we remember that Jesus rose from the dead.

• Easter comes at the end of Lent.

#

What symbols do we use and why?

• Rabbits, chicks and lambs.

• All these animals are born in Spring and are symbols of new life.

#

More symbols.

• The cross - because Jesus died on the cross.

• We eat hot cross buns - the cross on the top reminds us of Jesus’ death.

#

Even more symbols.

• Easter eggs!• These represent new life (chicks hatch

from eggs)• They also help us to remember the

stone in front of the tomb that was rolled away.

• (We also eat them because they are yummy!)

#

What have we learned about Easter in Spain?

• In Spain there are processions (pasos) with statues on floats carried by strong men for over a week before Easter Day.

• People become penitentes and walk through the streets in chains or barefoot.

• People eat cakes called monas.
