In addition to the Resurrection Sunday traditions I wrote about last year, we also:
Have our own Easter sunrise (sort of) worship. We eat breakfast outside, weather permitting, a breakfast made up of homemade cinnamon rolls, deviled eggs, and orange juice. This morning we had cranberry-orange juice inside because it was too wet and windy to eat outdoors.
We read the story of Jesus’s Resurrection from one of the gospels, and we usually sing a hymn. But we forgot to sing this morning.
We listen to Easter music, a motley collection of favorite CCM (Don Francisco, John Michael Talbot, 2nd Chapter of Acts) from the 70’s and Handel and whatever else seems appropriate and celebratory.
We hang our Easter flag out in front, and we enjoy worshipping the Risen Lord with our church family.
We’ll also have ham, green beans, and sweet potatoes for dinner.
Well put Mother. Happy Easter!
Indeed He is risen!
