Easter is one of my favorite holidays because of the resurrection of Jesus. This resurrection lets me know that we also will not just die, but we'll have eternal life through our belief in Jesus. I love knowing that Jesus also was not just some kind of an invisible spirit: he did such things as eating food, being visible to disciples, etc. I believe that we also will have some kind of form when we arrive in Heaven.
The cover of Holidays Amaze obviously has Easter eggs as a part of its design. Holidays Amaze has a great Easter poem on pages 21 through 28: "Sticking Together on Easter." This poem has a story about an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday. The children in this narrative talk about Jesus and his life, as well as finding some really nice surprises in their Easter eggs.
Here is the ending of the poem, which is on pages 27 and 28 of Holidays Amaze:
"A circle of children and teachers did form
around the Jesus statue with prayers so warm
that they melted moisture within the stickers,
creating dampness falling down from the stickers
to the ground and forming a tiny pond
where Christian friends with each other could bond
to join with Jesus stickers from Easter eggs
to walk on circular ponds with stable legs."
