Last year Daniel and I started a tradition with the kids, to have a special passover dinner Saturday night before Easter. We aren't Jewish and I didn't know how to do a true passover dinner, I decided to make some food that would go along with the Easter story eggs. First we talk about Palm Sunday, then we pray together, then Daniel washed the boys feet, and then we had communion together. We then talked about the Crucifixion and so we ate a cross shaped pizza. Next was how Jesus' body was wrapped in linen, so we ate hot dogs wrapped in bread. And lastly, we learned about the tomb, so we ate turnovers with rocks in them, we call them tomb cakes:) It was a very special dinner and the kids loved it! It was so neat to hear them explaining all the Easter eggs that represented the true story of Easter. Then they got to hunt eggs and get their baskets. Both the boys sweetly told us that this was the best Easter ever!

I think your kids get even more out of that than a Sader service! I may have to copy next year.
