Progressive Christians, what do you tell your children Easter is about?

6. When we talk about it, we talk about it as Easter being a rememberance of the time

of the Last Supper, Jesus death and of 3 days later, when he manifested in the spirit form.

Tonight we'll go to Maundy Thursday service (mainly because were in choir). We'll be hearing the story of the last supper and share an eccumenical soup/sharing dinner with our church friends. Dinner consists of vegetable or chicken soup, crackers, grapes, and wedges of cheese. It's not a tennebrae service, just dinner w/ friends and a 15-min. or so story telling.

Though our church participates in a community Good Friday service, we don't attend.

On Sunday, son, hubby and myself play in the handbell group and choir in church in the morning and head to family dinner in the afternoon. We still do an Easter 'gifty' thing for the kids. My daughter will get a blouse she's been wanting. My son will get a small Lego set and a flashlight that he's wanted. Each will get a book they want (Manga for daughter, Wereworld for son). Each package will be topped off with their 'candy' of choice (Several packs of Big Train Chai tee for daughter and Reese's PB eggs for son).
