Easter Story Telling Are Fun
If a Christian believer feels a need to deepen their faith, then this can often be accomplished through a re-enactment of the Easter story itself. Church tradition supplies different versions of these re-enactments. Sometimes they take place within the church itself, sometimes they are private matters, and sometimes they are part of a much larger collective activity. Focusing on the story of Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection will help to incorporate that saving, freeing event more deeply into a believer's daily life.
The most frequent re-enactment of the story of Easter, of course, is the sacrament of the Mass in the Catholic Church, or similar acts in Protestant and other churches. This is the ritual that symbolically repeats both the Last Supper of Christ with His disciples and the crucifixion itself. Believers are given bread, either literally or in the form of some type of communion wafer, which is meant to symbolize the breaking of Christ's body on the cross. The wine, or in many cases it is grape juice, symbolizes His shed blood. The Easter devotional spirit is meant to inhabit each performance of the ritual, as the believers commemorate the crucifixion and incorporate the resurrected body of Christ into themselves.
A much more literal re-enactment of the Easter story, called the Passion Play, takes place either in local churches or on a much larger scale in towns like Oberammergau in Germany, or Fazenda in Brazil. This play draws the faithful (and more than a few tourists) from every part of the world. The participants recreate the events leading to the death and resurrection of Christ. This re-enactment drives home the truths of this most powerful of the Christian stories in a deep and dramatic way.
Of all the Christian holidays, Easter is the one that is meant to have the most lasting effect in believers' lives. Christmas may be more fun in some ways, but it only lays the groundwork for the sorrow and victory of the Easter story, and the incorporation of that message into daily life. Whether it's through regular devotional Bible reading, meditation at the Stations of the Cross in the church, or an energizing visit to a great church festival, these re-enactments of the story of Easter can serve to strengthen a believer's faith.
