Ever done Resurrection Eggs with your children? It's a great way to visually explain the story of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection.

Here's what I used in our eggs:

Egg #1 Bread--For the last meal Jesus ate with his disciples (Mark 14:22 or Luke 22:14)

Egg #2 Feather--Jesus predicted that Peter would lie three different times and say he didn't know Jesus by the time the rooster crowed. (Mat 26:33)

Egg #3 Three silver dimes--Judas betrays Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. (Luke 22:2-3, Luke 22:47-52)

Egg #4 Thorns--People were mad that Jesus said He was the Son of God, so they made a crown of pointy thorns to put on His head. (Mat 27:29-31, Mark 15:17)

Egg #5 Nails--Jesus was nailed to a cross. They left Him hanging there until He died, even though He hadn't done anything wrong. (Mat 27:31, Luke 23:40-41)

Egg #6 The Cross--They placed His cross on a hill between two other men who were criminals.

Egg #7 Dice--When the soldiers crucied Jesus, they took His clothes and played a game to decide who would get His clothes. (John 19:23-24)

Egg #8 Spear--Use a toothpick to symbolize that one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side.

Egg #9 White cloth--After Jesus died, His friends wrapped Him with cloth and lay Him in a special cave, a tomb. (Luke 23:53, Mat 27:53-60)

Egg #10 Cinnamon Sticks--Three women brought special species to anoint Jesus' body. (Mark 16:1)

Egg #11 Stone--The people who had killed Jesus put a large rock over the mouth of the tomb, to make sure that no one could get Jesus out. (Mat 27:62-65)

Egg #12 Empty!!--Three days later, the huge rock was moved and Jesus was gone from the tomb. An angel said He was alive again! This day is what we celebrate on Easter Sunday because Jesus was raised to life again and lives today! (Luke 24:3, 6, Mat 28:2-6)
