Activity: Celebrate the promise by making casacarones

Imagine the disciples reaction when they saw saw Jesus alive after the crucifixion? They must have been so surprised and super happy to see their good friend alive, you can imagine they would have wanted to have a huge fiesta?

“I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die."

The cascarones are a border area tradition that symbolize this promise.

The empty egg shell symbolize the empty tomb and the colorful confetti symbolize the fiesta we live, because we believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We celebrate that death will never win. Jesus lives! The tomb is empty! Make some cascarones and save them for Easter Sunday.

He is alive and still among us now he will never leave us.
