Celebrating Eastertime is a Master Set designed to help people come to a greater awareness of the Church, the Resurrection. The prayers, activities, crafts, projects, puzzles and dramas included in Celebrating Eastertime highlight the joy of the season of Easter. The customs and traditional practices used in making Easter a special time are ideal for communicating the meaning of change, renewal, new life in nature, and our new life in Christ.
