Easter spiritual circle
Easter is one of the most important and holy days during the year. Therefore why not have a truly special spiritual circle for Easter for those with Alzheimer’s disease, related dementias and other long term care individuals
Start with this Easter Prayer
God of mercy, you wash away our sins in water, you give us a new birth in the Spirit, and redeem us in the blood of Christ. As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection, increase our awareness of these blessings, and renew your gift of life within us. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. AmenAs a part of Easter tradition, people enjoy the soothing melodious songs on Easter, while having their delicious Easter feast. Easter season also gives a warm welcome to the refreshing springtime. Thus, songs on the theme of spring can also be heard in the music
Here is a list of some famous songs for Easter:
- Easter parade
- Christ the Lord is risen today
- He arose
- Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
- O Morning Star, How Fair and Bright
Tell the story of Easter
For sensory have a large basket filled with paper Easter grass, plastic eggs, empty egg cartons, yellow pom poms (chicks) and and smaller Easter baskets.
Also have some Easter bonnets to try on
End with this prayer
May Thy Body, O Lord, which I have received, and Thy Blood which I have drunk, cleave to my bowels; and grant that no stain of sin may remain in me, who have been fed with this pure and holy Sacrament; Who livest and reignest for ever and ever. Amen.
Great Easter Ideas!
