"I love everything about Easter! We eat delicious food, especially meat, and we get to drink soda. I have watched an Easter movie about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and it always reminds me the price Jesus paid for my salvation.”
— Steven, Rwanda

"Jesus was placed on a cross with a crown of thorns. He is alive now in heaven. Jesus exists and loves me and that makes me feel happy."
— Belinda, Bolivia

"Every Saturday before Easter there is a celebration day at the center. Different choirs perform Easter songs and the older children at the center perform a drama about Jesus’ death and resurrection. On Easter Sunday my family prepares a nice meal."
— Aline, Rwanda

“At Easter, we eat sweet beans, we bathe in the pool, and it is very special because I can play and have fun and spend time with my family.”
— Gianmilka, Dominican Republic

"Jesus died that day but then He resurrected. He died to forgive everybody’s sins. Easter makes me feel good because Jesus died in the place of everybody."
— Kevin, Bolivia
