Easter Banner

Welcome to Heart FELT Truths and the Holy Week/Easter Banner page. If you are looking for a Christ-centered family tradition for celebrating Easter or a special tool to teach your children events in the Bible about Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection then you have come to the right place! Our Easter Banner is a special tool for families of young children (approximately ages 2-8) to use during their Easter Celebrations. Starting with Palm Sunday there is a symbol (or two) to add to the banner along with an introduction, Scripture Text, and discussion to use. Each day’s devotional takes less than 15 minutes and is perfect for a family worship setting with toddlers, preschoolers, or young children. We also have a free pattern to make your own felt symbols that can be found at the bottom of this page.

(A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING: We currently have a few banners ready to ship. Shipments are made USPS Priority mail and typically take 2-4 days to arrive. Please order today to receive your banner prior to Palm Sunday.)

On Good Friday, a wrapped body is placed in the tomb at the bottom of the banner, and a black piece is pulled over the banner display.

Children wake up to an empty tomb and the new banner display reading “He is Risen!” on Easter Sunday. This is a special way to bring meaning to your family’s Easter celebration and teach children about why we celebrate Easter.
