During Easter, Christians visit churches for special services where they sing hymns, read prayers, and listen to stories of Jesus's life, including his death and resurrection.
Some Christians create Easter Gardens using materials like soil, flowers, sticks, and stones to retell the Easter Story in a hands-on way.
