It is a pretty custom to exchange souvenirs on Easter Mornings. The candy rabbit and bonbon box of speckled eggs, fill quite a place in a boy's heart and help him remember happily the day.

A pretty custom in my girlhood was the rolling of the colored eggs out of doors on the day following Easter. 
I am told that this custom is now quite modern- that the children in our Capital city all repair to the White House grounds
to roll their eggs, and that our Presidents, as well as the wee folks, enjoy the sport. 

Long live the Presidents!  *

Mix It Up with Jenny - Sweet Simplicity

(Family Features) - As much fun as it is to make fancy treats, sometimes simple really is better. This Easter I've decided to keep things sweet and simple when it comes to making desserts.

These Easter Egg Treats are a fun twist on marshmallow crispy bars - the kids can help shape the eggs and sprinkle them with pretty toppings. It will be a little messy, but what a fun memory to make together!

Bark candies are traditional around other holidays, so why not Easter, too? They couldn't be simpler to make, and the creamy white morsels and colorful jelly beans taste - and look - great together.

Recipe for Leg of Lamb for Easter Sunday



Easter Tradition

Easter brings joy to the festival.  Let the table decorations be fresh and dainty.  The dominant dish should be eggs, eggs and eggs, over again.
  In pagan days, the use of eggs in the spring was symbolical of nature "the bursting of life." 

The free use of eggs on Easter has now generally become a custom with all nations, whether that nation
acknowledges its religious significance or not.

  White and green are the most appropriate colors for decoration.  White China and pure white linen, with Easter lilies for the centerpiece, make an ideal looking table. 

Hard-boiled eggs sliced crosswise, make pretty garnishings for the different dishes. 

On this special day, for breakfast, let the eggs to cooked to order as best pleases each individual fancy.
  This privilege will be greatly appreciated, especially by the little folks, who like innovations!

The Easter Story

Once, a long time ago, a little donkey was brought to Jesus. The little donkey had never been ridden before, but Jesus spoke gently to him, and soon he stopped being afraid.

Jesus climbed onto the donkey’s back, and they set off for Jerusalem…

In clear, reverent language and shining gold-toned paintings, award-winning author/illustrator Brian Wildsmith creates this companion book to his earlier A Christmas Story.

With an enchantingly simple perspective that will engage even the very youngest child, Wildsmith offers a splendid new version of the greatest story ever told.
