On Saturday, March 23, Leo & Jack hunted eggs at Faithpoint. We were so excited to see so many new faces - a lot kids who don't normally attend our church. Even though there were a lot of kids hunting eggs, still plenty for Leo & Jack. Jack even got his picture taken with the Easter Bunny!! Leo had no interest in the Easter Bunny, except to know that the big, giant bunny was no where near. As with Santa Claus, our normally daring little guy was a little skeptical...

FYI - In Medieval Europe, Christians would abstain from eating eggs and meat during Lent. Eggs laid during that time were often boiled to preserve them and were given as Easter gifts to children and servants. Some traditions claim the Easter egg is symbolic of the resurrection of Jesus, with the shell of the egg representing the sealed Tomb and cracking the shell representing the Resurrection. Christians in the Middle East and in Greece painted eggs bright red to symbolize the blood of Christ.
