We’re almost to Easter! But remember, Easter isn’t just a single day—it’s a whole 50-day season of joy and celebration! This is the time to truly rejoice in Christ’s resurrection and let that joy overflow into our daily lives. Here are some simple and meaningful ways to celebrate Easter throughout the season.

Other Simple Ways to Celebrate Easter

• Dye Easter Eggs with Meaning – Dye eggs as a symbol of the Resurrection, inspired by the legend of St. Mary Magdalene and the Emperor. According to tradition, Mary Magdalene presented an egg to Emperor Tiberius while proclaiming, “Christ is risen!” When he mocked her, saying it was impossible for someone to rise from the dead, the egg miraculously turned red — a symbol of Christ’s victory over death. Dyeing eggs can be a fun way to reflect on this story and celebrate the new life we have in Christ.
• Learn to Pray or Sing the Regina Caeli – This traditional Easter prayer replaces the Angelus during the season.
• Go for a Spring Nature Walk – Notice the beauty of new life blooming around you, a reflection of Christ’s resurrection.
• Keep Fresh Flowers in the House – A reminder of the beauty and renewal that Easter brings.
• Make a Resurrection Scene – Just like a Nativity scene at Christmas, create a visual representation of the empty tomb.
• Gaze at and Meditate Upon Sacred Art – Some favorites include Caravaggio’s “The Incredulity of Saint Thomas”, “The Supper at Emmaus” by Rembrandt to reflect on Christ’s appearances after His resurrection
• Invite Friends Over to Break Bread – Just as Jesus dined with His disciples, share a meal with loved ones and celebrate the joy of Easter together.

Remember, Easter is a season of joy! It’s a time to let that resurrection hope take root in our hearts and homes. However you choose to celebrate, let it be filled with love, light, and gratitude for Christ’s victory over death.
