1. Donkey and Palm BranchYour first egg should contain a donkey and a palm branch. We’ve used a picture of a donkey and a small twig with leaves.
“Most of the crowd spread their coats in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them in the road. The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!” Matthew 21:8-9
2. Bread The second egg should contain a small bit of bread.
“While they were eating Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to His disciples. ‘Take and eat it,’ He said, ‘ This is My body.’” Matthew 26:26
3. Money The third egg should contain a small amount of coins.
“Then one of the twelve disciples, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and asked, ‘What will you give me if I betray Jesus to you?’ They counted out thirty silver coins and gave them to him.” Matthew 26: 14-15
4. StringThe fourth egg should contain a small piece of string.
“Pilate wanted to please the crowd, so he set Barabbas free for them. Then he had Jesus whipped and handed Him over to be crucified” Mark 15:15

5. Purple cloth and crown of thorns.Your fifth egg should contain a piece of purple fabric and the brown pipe cleaner twisted to resemble a crown of thorns.
“They stripped Jesus’ clothes and put a scarlet robe on him. Then they made a crown out of thorny branches and placed it on His head and put a stick on His right hand; then they knelt before Him and made fun of Him. “Long live the King, of the Jews,” They said.” Matthew 27:28-29
6. CrossThe sixth egg should contain a brown pipe cleaner twisted to r esemble a cross.
“He went out, carrying His cross, and came to Golgotha, that is ‘The Place of the Skull.’ There they crucified Him.” John 19: 17-18
“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
7. Small NailsThe seventh egg should contain a few small nails.
“They nailed Jesus to a cross and gambled to see who would get his clothes.” Mark 15:24
“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” Colossians 1:20

9. Sponge and spear.The ninth egg should contain a small piece of sponge, as well as a spear which we have made out of a cocktail stick. We’ve colour the tip in red using a felt tip pen.
“One of them ran up at once, took a sponge. He filled it with vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink.” Matthew 27:48
“One of the soldiers plunged his spear into Jesus’ side, and at once blood and water poured out.” John 19:34
10. White cloth and spices Your tenth egg should contain a white piece of fabric and some herbs.
“Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.” John 19:40
11. RockThe eleventh egg should contain a rock.
“Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, and placed it in his own new tomb, which he had just recently dug out of solid rock. Then he rolled a large stone across the entrance to the tomb and went away.” Matthew 27:59-60
12. EmptyYour twelfth egg should be kept empty.
“The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” Matthew 28:5-7
