20 Ideas for a Month-Long Easter Celebration

By Kate Stewart

Church Magazines

People celebrate Christmas all December. Why not have a month-long Easter celebration to remember Christ’s atoning sacrifice? Here are some ideas.

During December, many people keep Christmas traditions and place an extra-special focus on the Savior all month long.

This month, you could try to do something similar to establish new Easter traditions. Here are 20 ideas, one for each day from April 1 until April 20 (Easter). Feel free to come up with your own!

  1. Visit someone you haven’t seen in a while. This can remind you of Christ’s visiting Mary, His Apostles, and multitudes of people after His Resurrection.
