I love coloring eggs and going to Easter Egg hunts. But what traditions do you have that remind you of the true meaning of Easter?
I heard about a tradition where you make rolls, but you wrap the dough around a marshmallow. When they are done they are hollow, or empty, like the tomb.

My mama used to do this with me and I enjoyed it very much! I’m not sure if this is the exact recipe mine used but it sounds like it will work. Have fun. It is good to incorporate your believes intio something fun to express to your kids.

I am Polish and we have a traditional easter breakfast, but it is all prepared the day before and blessed by the priest at a little church service.
We include a piece of pork, rye bread, kielbasa, hard boiled egg (colored or not), farmer cheese, babka, butter formed into a lamb-shape, salt & pepper. Some people also have wine and some of their easter candy blessed, but we never did that in our family.
I don’t recall all of the connections, but the food items are all supposed to mean something and it is important that the food you first eat on easter morning is blessed.

If you mean the spring equinox celebration, named after the goddess Oestre, we usually do the egg hunt, have the bunny come & plant some new things in our yard. All of those help us to celebrate fertility & the coming of new life in the world.
Or, did you mean the Christian version of Easter?
