Traditions

Do you have family traditions that helped you as a child to set your eyes on Jesus through the time leading up to resurrection Sunday? Have you seen other families do things that help their kids understand the meaning of Christ's passion? Do you have creative ideas for how to walk through Lent with children in a way that is expectant and prayerful?

I'm not as interested in baptising pagan influences (i.e. how you can use easter bunnies to teach your kid about Jesus) as in traditions that connect the real historical events to our present experience.

Thanks in advance for your contributions!
