How can I make Easter more Christ centered for my family?

So I have been thinking that this year I need to do something more for Easter. I found and article in the Ensign that has a lot of good ideas. Yet, I still haven't decided on what to do, so if you have any good idea that you would like to share, please do! Thanks!

Check out this post by Scribbit. It has a recipe for rolls you can make, as well as directions for putting it all together. You could use Rhodes rolls, or crescent rolls instead, (the kind in the container that pops) if you prefer.

The marshmallow symbolizes Christ (and it's white, to symbolize purity), the butter symbolizes the oils that he was anointed with, the cinnamon sugar, the spices they used. The roll is symbolic of the garments they placed him in, and the oven is the tomb. After they bake, the marshmallow disappears, leaving behind the garments, just like when Jesus was resurrected. Just a thought. My friend does this with her kids every Easter.

I made them, and they were delicious, with or without the symbolism. Ü
