On Holy Thursday, Mom, Dad, and older children attend services and have bread and wine to commemorate Jesus' Last Supper with his disciples. At home, the kids color Easter eggs and eat sticky hot cross buns, and on Easter Sunday, all go to church and sing songs to celebrate how Jesus came back to life.
