  2. The name “Easter” itself derives from the name of the Saxon goddess of Spring and of the Dawn – Eostre. The name “Eostre” was also used to denote the ancient Norse festival of Spring sun, which celebrated the awakening of new life and the death of winter. The Christian Easter gradually replaced the pagan festival, although some of the rites of Spring are still retained.

  3. The Easter Story Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. He was greeted by people with palm branches. Jesus talked to people. Some people didn’t like him and wanted him killed. Jesus got angry when people didn’t use the temple properly. Then Jesus and his friends went to a garden to pray. Jesus had a special supper with his friends. He knew he was going to die. Jesus and his friends drank wine and ate bread. He said it should remind them of him.

  4. Judas kissed Jesus on the cheek helping the guards arrest Jesus. Jesus was brought to see Pontius Pilate. Some people told him Jesus was evil and he should die. Jesus was taken away. When early on Easter Sunday morning some women came to the tomb it was empty! Jesus was hung on a cross on Golgotha to die. Two Jesus’ friends took his body to a cave and buried in a tomb.

  5. Suddenly, they saw Jesus and he talked to them. He told all his friends that he would come back one day. Then the women saw an angel who told them that Jesus was alive! After that He went up to Heaven.
