Told as an informative book that could be read by those who celebrate Easter as well as those who want to learn about it, this colourfully illustrated picture book describes the Christian holiday of Easter, its origins, and current traditions.
While introducing the holiday by its present celebration (“Easter Sunday is in the spring”), it then spends a good deal of the book recounting the story of Jesus. Current commemorations of the holiday are also given—Christians attending church, the symbolism of Easter lilies, the pre-Christian origins of the word “Easter” and old custom of giving eggs at a spring festival, painting Easter eggs, Easter egg hunts, parades, and more. With final page of Easter Holy Day definitions.
