Resurrection Egg
Resurrection Egg is a set of 12 decorated eggs used during the Easter season as a method to teach the story of the Resurrection of Jesus. Each egg contains a different symbol that represents a part of the Resurrection story.
History[edit | edit source]
The concept of the Resurrection Egg was first introduced by FamilyLife, a religious organization, in the 1990s. The idea was to provide a fun and interactive way for children to learn about the story of the Resurrection. The concept quickly gained popularity and is now used by many Christian families and churches during the Easter season.
Components[edit | edit source]
Each Resurrection Egg set contains 12 eggs, each with a different color and symbol. The symbols and their meanings are as follows:
- Donkey: Represents the donkey that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
- Silver coins: Represents the 30 pieces of silver that Judas Iscariot was paid to betray Jesus.
- Cup: Represents the Last Supper.
- Praying hands: Represents Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane.
- Whip: Represents the whip used to scourge Jesus.
- Rooster: Represents the rooster that crowed after Peter denied Jesus three times.
- Crown of thorns: Represents the crown of thorns that was placed on Jesus' head.
- Cross: Represents the cross that Jesus was crucified on.
- Nails: Represents the nails used to crucify Jesus.
- Spear: Represents the spear that was used to pierce Jesus' side.
- Linen cloth: Represents the linen cloth that Jesus was wrapped in for burial.
- Empty tomb: Represents the empty tomb that Jesus' followers found on Easter morning.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The Resurrection Egg set is typically used in the days leading up to Easter. Each day, one egg is opened and the symbol inside is discussed. This allows for a detailed and interactive exploration of the Resurrection story.
