EASTER

A symbol of hope, renewal and new life

The story behind Easter lies in the New Testament of the Bible which narrates how Jesus was arrested by the Roman authorities because he claimed to be the “Son of God”. He was then sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman emperor by crucifixion. His resurrection, three days later marks the occasion of Easter. This day is also closely associated with the Jewish festival of Passover.

Easter is celebrated as a joyous occasion and the Sunday prior is called Palm Sunday which marks the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem. Various churches begin the celebration in the late hours of Saturday through a religious service called Easter Vigil. Non–religious celebrations include the tradition of Easter eggs, which represent fertility and birth and Easter bunny which delivers chocolates and sweets to kids on Sunday morning.

To celebrate the happiness of new life, our preprimary student with the teacher made beautiful Easter eggs with egg shells and enjoyed varieties of chocolates given by Easter bunny.
