Eggcellent Tradition!


“He has risen!” and the receiver responds with “He has risen indeed!”

Easter is coming and as we know, it’s not all about the bunny and his eggs, but about our Lord and Savior, who rose from His tomb on the third day. A family tradition of ours is have an egg exchange. Together we spend the day sitting around the table and dying and decorating eggs. When we’ve finished, we hand our personalized egg to our secret someone (who’s name we pulled from a hat), we state: “He has risen!”, and the receiver responds with, “He has risen indeed!”

This paper-mache egg was honestly made with myself in mind. It is all my favorite colors and textures, wrapped in copper paint, ribbons, flowers and feathers. I created a leaf nest for the egg to rest and decorated an old candlestick with paint, glitter and ribbons. The end result turned out to be an eggcellent Easter display (LOL - I had to say it!)

This would be a wonderful project to do with family or friends. If you decorate hard boiled eggs you can use the stands to display them each year, or you can decorate paper-mache eggs and can add to your collection every Easter.

Have a blessed Easter and remember: He has Risen! …. (now it’s your turn.)
