"The Easter Basket and the True Story of Easter," by Mary Manz Simon, relates how the colors of found in an Easter basket relate to and can remind us of the events of the first Easter:
green like the palm leaves,
purple like the Last Supper meal with wine,
red like Jesus's blood,
brown like the darkness of the tomb,
white like the angel who announced "He is risen!",
yellow like the Easter sun.
Ember read the book and we all followed along, choosing the candy that matched the color, and talking about the symbolism..as much as I could around Eva and Ellisyn candy grabbing.
