Moms - how did you explain Easter to your kids when they were preschoolers? I have shared that Jesus loves us very much and Easter is about how he'll always forgive us and calls us to do our best. The dying on the cross and rising 3 days later is tough for me to put unto preschool terms for my boys. Suggestions? As a child - the story scared me! And sometimes I still feel sorrow that Jesus suffered on the cross for our sins. The pain. Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Easter is a difficult holiday for me. And I've been praying about why?
