"While it is obvious that an ignorant man can be virtuous, it is
equally obvious that ignorance is not a virtue." -Frank Sheed
We are gathering our supplies to make Resurrection Eggs - here are some of the ideas I have gathered from here and there.
Placing small tokens in plastic Easter eggs to tell the Easter story is an idea that has been around for some time. It’s currently being marketed prepackaged. For those that would rather put together their own set of Resurrection Eggs, we’ve put together a list culled from a number of different sources. That means we have more than 12 eggs, so you get to pick and choose which tokens and scriptures you want to use.
