I haven't really any wonderful ideas to...Kari,<br /><br />I haven't really any wonderful ideas to share. We need to adopt some new traditions too!<br /><br />One thing we do remember to do every year, is sing our favourite Easter hymn "By Your Kingly Power O Risen Lord", at home after Mass on Easter Sunday. I have filmed everyone singing this hymn for quite a few years now. Each year we notice changes as everyone gets older. We also notice the changes in the singing voices as voices improve! After we have sung, we have morning tea and give each other eggs.<br /><br />We also bake an Easter nest egg cake. It's a chocolate cake decorated with chocolate frosting and a chocolate nest. We melt chocolate and spread it on a tray. When it has set, the chocolate is broken up into pieces which are then poked into the top of the iced cake to make a nest. We add little eggs to the nest, take a photo and then enjoy! The cake has more to do with a secular Easter than a spiritual one, but because it is a family tradition, it has great value to us.<br /><br />I must follow your links and make some plans to add a few new traditions to our celebration.<br /><br />God bless!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.com
