“Resurrection Eggs Craft | The Story of Holy Week”

Step By Step Tutorial:

Holy Week is the days between Palm Sunday and Easter. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full moon date.

The most important thing about the Holy Week Story is the end. We must always remember that Jesus is our Savior, He sacrificed himself to give us freedom from sin and death. To give us eternal life.

Each Egg contains something for us to remember the story. The guide below is to guide you to tell the story.

1. The palm tree leaf- Represent when Jesus entered Jerusalem and the people welcomed him waving palm branches and shouted "Hosanna", which means "Savior'' (John 12:12- 15)

2. Jar -While Jesus was in Bethany, in Simon's home, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard (aromatic ointment). She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. (Mark 14:3-5)

3. Cup of Wine and Bread - Represent the Last Supper when Jesus ate a meal with His friends, breaking bread and drinking wine together. He raised his cup and said, this is my blood, no one understood this but Jesus was referring to his death. (Luke 22:14-20)
