    The 12 Eggs of Easter is a fun Christ-Centered Easter tradition that will teach children all about the Easter Story. 

    12-days-of-easter this awesome idea!

    A Christ-Centered Easter Tradition

    A few years ago, I realized that I wanted to do a little more to make our Easter celebrations more Christ-Centered. Don't get me wrong. We love our 6 favorite Simple Easter Traditions. 

    But, Easter means so much more when we dedicate  more of our time to celebrate the real reason for the holiday. After all, because of Easter, we have a perfect plan of happiness and can live with our family members again after we die.

    We love spending one night before Easter talking about the symbols of Easter or some years, we do one each night for 12 Days of Easter.

    • scripture references: Matthew 26:26-28, 3 Nephi 20:3-4, 6-8, 3 Nephi 26:13

    And He went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “Oh my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.”  Matthew 26:39
