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.
