Wow, great video. We are trying something new this year never have done Easter Baskets but this year we are doing a Resurection basket. I bought a white cross, a candy egg filled with cross candies and a Crayola wonder kit the model magic and we are going to make a lamb because Jesus is the Lamb of God. Not sure if this will be kept up or not. Son knows that Easter is not about the candy the easter bunny ect but wanted to help remind what it is about.

I was so disapointed in Walmart this year. They used to carry "The Beginners Bible" items for Easter. We found nothing worth using to celebrate Easter or to read or decorate this year regarding what Easter really means. We ended up buying foam crosses and foam glue and making our own Thank You cards to God and Jesus!. Which was better than anything we we could have purchased.
Cute video.

Love it! And remember, the point of His coming was to redeem. Even if "Easter" does have its roots in paganism, Christ's resurrection is powerful enough to redeem it!
Even in Wal-Mart, Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

Agreeing with Ruth (#5) and Sara (#25) That is the reason our family will never have anything to do with any formerly pagan belief that has been turned into a part of almost all holidays. With the world accepting these things as normal and ok it leaves no place for Chirst followers to be "no part of this world."

I guess the question to ask is: Why would you expect to see the true meaning of Easter at Wal-mart? Isn't it a very secular store with very secular values, specifically designed to promote materialism? Aren't they there to make people feel good and spend more money?

Ruth (comment #5) is right on! I'm ashamed to admit that I've let the Pagen slip into our family…with the eggs (fertility goddess) and bunnies (also fertility – whether chocolate or not) and the chicks and spring flowers.
How happy is makes the evil one when the "Christians" do whatever they can to compromise, taint and distract from the Sacrifice…
It's time to clean house. Thanks for the very powerful reminder!

What a great youtube find, Jim! My husband and I have been lamenting the commercialism of Easter these past few days and have pondering just how we want to celebrate it as a family. This video is a lovely complement to the Lenten tree activities posted earlier.
