This tea party is good to do for all 50 days of the Easter season! I consider this tea party kind of a counterpart to our traditional Lenten tea that we like to have. It's full of symbols for all the things that happened from Easter through Pentecost, and roughly follows the Stations of Light (AKA Stations of the Resurrection, Way of the Light, or Via Lucis) You can find all of our liturgical tea … [Read more...]
Ok, as promised when I debuted the Printable Passion set for peg dolls, here is the Resurrection set counterpart! (And I now have a post about painting these little guys in 3 different styles- check it out here.) Nativity sets are so popular at Christmas time (and for good reason), so I can't figure out why the whole Resurrection Set thing at Easter hasn't totally caught on yet. I think … [Read more...]

I went on a quest to find the best picture books for kids that convey the true meaning of Easter for kids, and I want to share my findings with all of you!

Check out all of my faith-based Easter crafts and recipes for kids here! One of my favorite Lenten traditions to bring meaning to the season with my children is to have a crown of Thorns. Each time you do a good deed or make a Sacrifice, you get to pull out a thorn. Our crown is made from a grapevine wreath and toothpicks. Hopefully, by the end of Lent, the crown will be … [Read more...]
Lent and Advent are both a time of waiting. Hence the same liturgical color- purple. I'm not going to get into any deep Lenten theology here (because that's not my 'thing') but I am going to plead my case for holding off on Easter celebrations with your family until Lent is totally over. The season of Lent lasts 40 days. These are the 40 days that Jesus was in the desert. He was hungry, and … [Read more...]
Check out all of my faith-based Easter crafts and recipes for kids here! Making an Easter candle (also known as a Paschal Candle) to use at home can be a great religious Easter tradition for your family! The ones we made were super easy to do, and I used candles from Dollar Tree, so this project seriously only cost us $1. Before jumping in, you can read all about how to use Paschal Candles at … [Read more...]
