Theme Church decorations

This is that time of the year when most Churches around the world do something to decorate and brighten up. After all people come to pray during Lent and then come for the Easter Mass. Christians the world over celebrate the resurrection of Christ, the son of God! The feast also happens to have ancient roots when pagans rejoiced with the advent of spring. Easter marks the end of harsh winters and the beginning of spring. And therefore most places of Christian worship adorn the house of the Lord. There is no dearth of church easter decorating ideas. Check out the options suggested below!

Traditionally churches put up a large wooden cross outside or in the lawn to commemorate the memory of Christ’s journey from the Passover meal to crucifixion and then resurrection! Modern culture seems to have brushed off on the Church communities as well. They are resorting to theme decorations. For example many churches use fresh lilies and white ribbons to  decorate the entire church premises on Easter.

Floral arrangements and large wreaths are a common sight near altars. Easter banners are a common sight. They are easy to use and help ornament large spaces. Creating a mini Easter garden also works. It can be placed near the altar along with potted plants.


For those who wish to do something elaborate spring flower bouquets can be suspended from the ceiling to add to the overall effect!

Comic Easter plays



Easter or ‘Ostern’ as the Germans say is a very solemn occasion. The fest reminds one of the sacrifices the son of God made. That he suffered for man’s sins! Community elders and family members try and encourage youngsters to understand and appreciate the true meaning of the festival. What better way than to involve them in production of plays? Inspirational stories can be enacted to drive home the true meaning of Easter.


The latest fashion is to pick up easy to perform and comic scripts. In fact for those looking for Easter play ideas it is much better to perform comic plays than to go for something serious.


Working for and performing a funny play is not just an enjoyable experience for the participants; The audience regardless of age loves being entertained. It is actually a wonderful way yo spread the true message of Easter but at the same time retain the festive spirit. No occasion holds charm for the young if it becomes too solemn. Teens and kids like to have fun and therefore fun they shall have this Easter! But of course with a message!
