My name is

Dear Jesus, when Mary arrived at the tomb and didn’t see your body, she was afraid someone had stolen you away. Mary did not need to be afraid, as you were alive and well. Help me not to be afraid and to trust that you are always with me. Amen.

Mary arrives at Jesus’ tomb only to find that the stone is rolled to one side and Jesus is no longer inside. She tells the other disciples, who also run to the tomb only to find Jesus’ burial clothes lying on the ground.

Easter eggs and the resurrection

JESUS IS ALIVE!

Can you join the dots so that everyone can see that Jesus is alive?

Jesus is risen!Mary and the disciples do not know it yet, but Jesus has risen from the dead.

Easter eggs represent the stone that was rolled away

from the tomb.

When Mary arrived at the tomb, the stone that blocked the entrance was rolled away. Can you match the correct stone to the tomb?

When they heard Mary’s story, Peter and his friend ran to see the empty tomb for themselves. Find the path they need to follow.

Decorate this Easter egg beautifully to celebrate Jesus’

resurrection!
