ppt about Easter - for 6th grade students done by emilia jordanova

1. Easter
is the time for holidays,
festivals
and a time for giving
chocolate Easter eggs.
But Easter means much
more....

2. Easter is the story of
Jesus' last days in
Jerusalem before his
death.The Easter story
includes Holy
Thursday, Good Friday
(the day on which
Jesus was crucified)
and Easter Day (the
day on which Jesus
came back to life).

3. Jesus had told his
followers that he
would be crucified
and on the third
day he would rise
from the dead.
It was on Easter
Sunday that Jesus
rose from death.

4. Easter is a Christian festival. For
Christians the custom of giving
eggs at Easter celebrates new
life.
Christians remember that
Jesus, after dying on the
cross, rose from the dead.
They believe that, through his
resurrection, Jesus defeated
death and sin and offers people
the promise of eternal life if they
follow his teachings.

5. The first eggs given at Easter were
birds eggs. These eggs were painted in
bright colours. We still paint bird eggs
today but usually chicken eggs.

7. An Anglo-Saxon legend
tells how the Saxon
goddess found a wounded
bird.
She changed it into a hare,
so that it could survive the
Winter. The hare found it
could lay eggs, so it
decorated them each
Spring and left them as a
gift to the goddess.

8. In Germany, it is the
Easter bunny who
brings Easter eggs
to children.
He hides them in
the garden, for the
children to find
them!
It's a lot of fun.

9. • In North America, Australia and New
Zealand, parents often tell their children
that eggs and other treats are delivered
and hidden by the Easter Bunny in an
Easter basket. Children are happy to
find the eggs when they wake up.

10. In the UK children still
decorate eggs, but most
British people simply
exchange chocolate eggs
on Sunday.
Chocolate Easter Bunnies
can be found in shops.
Many families have a
traditional roast lamb and
a delicious Simnel cake

11. Children and adults like playing
an egg cracking game on Easter
.
They try to crack their eggs
against their friend's egg;
the last person with an
uncracked egg is the lucky
one.
The Greeks traditionally dye
their eggs red, symbolizing the
blood and passion of Christ.

12. Bulgarians call Easter
Velikden (Great Day).
Easter is one of the most
significant holidays in
Bulgarian calendar. It
starts with Palm Sunday.
The bright red coloured
eggs and Easter bread
known as "kozunak" are
the symbols of Easter in
Bulgaria.

Sunday, people gather at the church with red
painted eggs and bread.
