Easter

Easter is the day that Christians believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead. The date is different each year, but it is always on a Sunday. There are many special days that lead up to Easter. Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
The Sunday before Easter is called Palm Sunday. It reminds Christians of Jesus' arrival 2,000 years ago in the city of Jerusalem. It was five days before he died.
Good Friday marks the day that Jesus died on the cross. It is the saddest day of the Christian year. Easter Sunday is the happiest day of the year for Christians because they believe that Jesus Christ rose from the dead many years ago.

Easter is coming soon. Anna prepared eggs and egg dyes for us to decorate eggs in class yesterday, and Anna also took some Jelly beans to us. The class was really great, and the Jelly beans were good too. We tried our best to decorate the eggs. Every one showed their talent of art. :-) We had much fun in this class. I also learned that eggs are kind of the symbol of new life and Easter Bunny is the symbol of fertility.
