* Easter Sunday is the most important
Christian festival of the year. It commemorates the
Resurrection of Jesus.
* Because this is such a special holiday for Christian families it
is important to present the information to young children in
a memorable way.
* Young children can enjoy having this event presented to them with
simple language, and explaining the meaning of some words that may be
new to them. This activity can be conducted any time of the
year.

or (in the same page)

the meaning of some key words in the story to help in the
reading.

your child.
