 Teaching about Easter through artefacts  

The materials which follow were originally published as a set of cards which could be used as sources of information and questions to go with artefacts related to Easter. Click here to download.

If you would like to use the information cards but do not have the artefacts needed, photographs of most of them are available, by clicking here.

Many can also be collected through colleagues or friends who are members of Christian churches. Even if you can't assemble them in time for immediate use, asking people to save you Easter cards with Chrisitian messages, palm crosses and other materials will mean you can put together an Easter artefacts box for future use.
