Friends, I wanted to share a new tradition we will be starting this year. I was at Seagull Book the other day and found a wonderful book entitled Easter Walk by Deborah Rowley. It is a spiritual Easter hunt and helps teach the meaning of Easter. You use the scripture clues below and basically go on a nature walk. Here are the scripture references and clue's, but I highly recommend buying the book. Have a wonderful weekend!
Scripture Clue 1: Mark 15:17
Something pointed and sharp torepresent the crown of thorns
Scripture Clue 2: John 19:17-18
Something made of wood to represent the cross.
Scripture Clue 3: Luke 23:46
Something dead to represent the Savior's death.
Scripture Clue 4: 3Nephi 8:23
Something dark to represent the darkness in Jerusalem and in America.
Scripture Clue 5: Mark 15:46
Something hard and round to represent the stone placed in front of the tomb.
Scripture Clue 6: Matthew 28:5-6
Something alive to represent that Jesus Christ is alive again.
