Something new for me!!! I've done a very short video (51 seconds!) on how to very easily make a Resurrection Day Cake. Our family has been doing this for years, and I thought you might want to start this Easter tradition with your family as well, to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus.
We use it as the centerpiece for our Easter dinner, and it is a reminder all during the meal that "He is not here!! He is risen!!" Hallelujah!!!!!!!!
Here's how to make a Resurrection Day Cake:
1) Buy or make a cake. 2) Dig out a "cave" in the side. 3) Put a cookie or peppermint pattie as a "stone" next to the "empty tomb". 4) Decorate or not as you wish (get the kids involved!). 5) Cut the cake from the back in order to keep the "empty tomb" as long as possible.
You can just leave the cake as is. But I like to put fresh flowers from my back yard on top, a sort of picture of new life from the earth. After I told my young church mothers about this, one family put knocked down little green army men for the guards! Another folded a stick of gum and put in the "cave" for the folded grave clothes! (I'll bet the kids were in on this! But I never went this far!)
Please comment if you make a Resurrection Day Cake.
Enjoy!!

“ Thank you ” Hello, Mrs. Chamberlain,
My name is Elijah Lucas Combrinck, I am 9 years old and my sister is 5. My sister and I listen to your stories every night while we go to sleep. This year for the first time we made a resurrection day cake, and it was very yummy. Thank you so much for your stories and your faithfulness.

“ Great Sermon! ” Hello, Anna Frances. Please forgive my poor memory, but did I answer your question about Easter, why it isn't called Resurrection Day more? Please let me know, as I had intended to answer you, but I can't find that I have. So be sure to let me know, all right? Thank you for writing to me. I'm so glad that you and your brothers and sisters like listening to my audios. Please tell them all "hello" from me! Love, "Grandma Joelee"

“ Yummy! ” Hello, Mrs. Chamberlain,
My name is Anna Frances Feldman, and I'm seven years old. My brothers and sisters and I have been listening to your Bible stories for several years. My favorite one is the story of Rebekah. I also liked the videos about the Resurrection Day Cake and the Days of Creation. I have a question for you: Why do people say Easter instead of Resurrection Day? Thank you very much for your interesting stories about the Bible!
Sincerely,
Anna Frances
