Showcasing the grace, beauty and majesty of Gods creation in the home at Easter

Easter is a beautiful and bountiful celebration of Christs defeat over the cross, just as we started to lose hope over the bare and cold months, as he rises, so too does the world, explode into colour and beauty.

I therefore always see it fitting to really bring that beauty inside at easter. Filling jars with flowers from the garden after an egg hunt is a wonderful way to spend connecting with the beautiful world God created for us, bringing them into the home together on easter morn feels so joyous and celebratory after the solemnity of Holy Week.

Decorations for the children, symbolic with the new life Christ has gievn us, decorated eggs and butterflies, really help bring the miracle of Christianity into a space very young children can share in.

Feasting and food which celebrates the bounty of the world which we have to enjoy and the fruits of Christs love for us is also wonderful to enjoy, this year we have the giant chocolate eggs (check out the recipe in the nourish section_ sitting on top of a simple sponge.

Of course around the home we have other reminders of the Resurrection to thoughtfully placed in light filled windows, this simple stick cross in a basket filled with soil moss and flowers has such reverence and a quietness about it which allows prayerful reflection.
