There are many ways for Christians to celebrate their traditions and faith. Some of the most popular holidays in the world were started in Christian traditions. These traditions can provide a foundation for a lasting and great faith.
Easter Egg Hunts
The Easter egg hunt is a tradition that Christians believe is linked to the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's a great way to spend Easter with your family and celebrate the season. In Medieval Europe, it was common for people to prepare hard-boiled eggs for later consumption. This practice presumably started because people had a large number of eggs to share. Giving children eggs as tokens also started during the festivities.
Some of the common Easter activities that are commonly practiced include dying eggs, assembling a basket full of treats, and telling stories about the Easter bunny. These traditions were originally part of pagan festivals that were held during the spring season.
Advent Calendars
The advent calendar was first introduced to Christians during the church year, which started in November. It was a time of personal reflection and fasting, and it ended on Christmas Eve. Today, this activity is more fun and brings a smile to people's faces as they prepare for Christmas.
If you've played the Christmas game, you know that the advent calendar is one of the activities featured in the game. You can make one out of construction paper or glitter, or purchase a finished calendar with decorative drawers. Having fun and simple way to keep track of the various activities of the season can be fun. You can also attach an advent calendar to your refrigerator door or hang one on your living room wall.
Saying Grace
Christians believe that saying grace is a way to thank God for the blessings of the day, and it's a tradition that can be repeated throughout the year. It can be a daily or special occurrence and can be reserved for special occasions. This time, it's also a time to express our gratitude for the blessings of the day.
Christmas Tree Decoration
Although the Christmas tree isn't a religious symbol, the tradition of decorating it can still be very important to Christians. It can create a link between the holiday and the faith-based aspects of it. For instance, if you're planning on having a nativity scene, then having a family ritual dedicated to this activity can help create a connection between the commercialization of the holiday and the faith-based aspects of it.
