This week we were learning about the Easter Story and the importance of learning the meaning behind Easter.

In summary, Jesus was named ‘The King of the Jews’ and the Jewish leaders did not like this so they arrested Jesus and beat him. This was because Judas betrayed him.

He was then sentenced to crucifixion because they claimed he committed blaspheme. He had to carry the cross up to Golgotha. The soldiers then ripped his clothes off and nailed him to the cross and spat on him. At this point, the sky turned black and the soldiers started to believe that Jesus really was the Son of God. Jesus died after 3 hours and his body was taken to a tomb by Joseph.

Three days later, Mary Magdalene and others went to visit Jesus’ tomb and realised it was empty! They thought his body had been stolen but an angel appeared and told them that Jesus had resurrected.  They knew that Jesus was alive and they knew where to find him.

To celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection, we went to St Andrews church for an Easter Service.
