Some Resurrection Celebration traditions here:
1) We always save the trunk of our Christmas tree and make a cross out of it to display in our living room for a few days before and after Resurrection Day. (I like to call the holiday Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter, but I often slip into calling it the latter.)
2) We got this idea from a book called Celebrating the Christian Year by Martha Zimmerman. We always cover all the windows with sheets on Thursday evening before Resurrection Sunday in order to remind us all of the darkness that fell during Jesus’ crucifixion. It’s also a reminder of the sadness and despair the disciples went through before Jesus came back to them and the darkness and hopelessness of sin that all of us were trapped in before we knew the light of Jesus’ life in us.
3) We usually hide Easter eggs for the little ones on Saturday morning. It’s part of the fun, but it seems better to get it over with on Saturday and then focus on Jesus and his resurrection on Sunday morning.
4) We take down the window coverings and decorate the cross with balloons and flowers and whatever else comes to mind on Saturday night so that the house is full of light and joy on Sunday morning.
5) We have a sunrise breakfast together out in the backyard and read the Biblical story of Jesus’ resurrection aloud. Then, we go to church to celebrate.
