The last supper, or Holy Thursday, marks Christ's last meal with his disciples. To illustrate this event, use two clean, empty egg cartons, print outs of the disciples, scissors, crayons and glue to recreate the scene from Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting.
The Crucifixion

The cross is one of the most recognized religious symbols of Christianity. It plays a major role in the celebration of Easter.

When completed, these crosses stand up on their own (see Resources).

The Resurrection
-
The disciples' discovery of Christ's empty tomb, signifying that Christ had risen from the grave, is the basis of Christianity and the foundation of Easter. To illustrate the event, create an ancient tomb out of painted paper plates that are cut in half and stapled together. Create a smaller opening to serve as the entry to the tomb, with a cut out of an angel glued inside. Crumple a lunch bag to serve as the bolder that stood beside the tomb.
