Planting an Easter Garden

Thanks to Pinterest and the facebook post of a friend (Thanks Jennifer!), we planted an "Easter Garden" this year. You line a shallow flower pot tin (or in our case, a disposable cake pan since that's what we had on hand) with soil and pebbles. Embed a mini flower pot turned on its side to make Jesus' tomb. Cover it with soil. Find a rock about the size of the opening.  Make the 3 crosses of Calvary with sticks and rope. Plant shade grass seeds in the soil. Spray with water a few times a day and put in a sunny location.

 The grass began to grow about 5 days later.  On Easter morning, the kids roll the stone away from the tomb to reveal...an empty tomb. Jesus has risen!
