To me, Easter means when Roman soldiers brought Jesus to Roman. Roman asked, “What shall I do with this man?” “Hang him on the cross, hang him on the cross,” the crowd shouted. Roman did not find anything guilty in this man, but he did what the crowd said. Jesus died on the cross at three o’clock. Before he died he said, “I am thirsty.” Then a soldier took a sponge and dipped it in some wine, and put it in Jesus’ mouth. After he died, Mary and Joseph took him off the cross and brought him into a grave. They pushed a huge rock in front of the hole of the grave. Three days later Jesus arose. God sent an angel to push the rock away. When the angel was on the way down the soldiers fell to the ground. Jesus arose and went to Mary. He heard her crying and asked, “Why are you crying?” “Jesus, my son is dead,” replied Mary. “No he is not. I am Jesus,” he replied. She quickly told everyone the good news. Jesus stayed on the ground for another forty days and forty nights. After all of those days Jesus rose to heaven.
We celebrate Easter by going to church. After church we have a special gathering at our house with all of our cousins. We usually have a turkey dinner. After dinner we get to have a bag of sweets. Then we play with all of our cousins.
Good work, Willy! You understand the importance of Easter, which is Jesus dying for our sins and rising from the dead. I like the detail you had when you explained the Easter story. It sounds like you have a nice family gathering with your cousins. You are lucky to have a turkey dinner. Your font colour was easy to read and your pictures related well to Easter. I hope you had a Happy Easter! 🙂
