Talk on Easter

[Regina7]

I have to give a talk on Palm Sunday and Easter this week. I will have a variety of ages, kids and adults. I have about half an hour. I’m really not sure where to start. I’d say most of these people have a basic understanding of faith. I figure it’d be best to hear it closer to the kids’ level since I’ll probably have more kids than adults. But I’m not sure what angle to take. Any suggestions?

I teach kids and they are always most interested in the little details of holy week such as

The tabernacle will be empty and the candle out after the Holy Thursday Mass.
The procession on the blessed sacrament at the end of Holy Thursday Mass
No Mass anywhere on Good Friday
The Stations of the Cross
The Easter vigil starts outside the church with a bonfire!
Everyone gets candles lit from the Easter candle and bring the light into the church
The Litany of Saints, sometimes father lets us add saints to be read
We usually have THREE sacraments at the vigil. Baptism, confirmation and Eucharist.
Everyone renews their baptismal promises and gets sprinkled!

I’m sure you will do fine!
