Holy Week events are well underway, and what better way to cap off a week of prayer and reflection than by doing something fun with your family? Easter is coming up, and considering that it is a holiday celebrated with great enthusiasm, it’s no surprise at all that there are multiple opportunities for you and your family to do something special. But just what activities can you do for Easter? We’ve made a few suggestions that might be worth considering!
Egg Hunting
Whether it be at home or at an event, you can truly never go wrong with the classic Easter Egg Hunt. Select malls and hotels across the Metro will surely have egg hunting events for your kids! The best part? Everything else is nearby, making it easy to celebrate Easter dining in your favorite restaurant and perhaps even catching a movie!
For reference, here are some Egg Hunt events happening so far:
Attend an Easter Mass
Maybe your family is one of the more pious types, and the best way for you to cap off the Holy Week is none other than attending an Easter Mass. Considering that it is a celebratory mass not to mention the last mass of the Lenten season, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection with your family and with the community may just be enough to keep your hearts fulfilled.
Celebrate Easter with Extended Family
Visiting your extended family and celebrating Easter together is definitely another way to celebrate. Whether it be your house or traveling to Tita’s, catching up on family happenings, enjoying good food, and laughing together as a family is a low-maintenance yet fulfilling way to spend Easter. Seeing your extended family members after a long time away from each other could just very much be the pick-me-up you needed!
Go out of town for the Long Weekend
Planning a mini-vacation for the long weekend? Taking your family on an out-of-town trip over the Holy Week weekend is the perfect opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. A weekend in Tagaytay, perhaps? Or Maybe a weekend beach trip in Batangas? Whatever the plans may be, a quick getaway over the weekend will easily get you and your family feeling relaxed and rejuvenated just in time for the following work week.
Picnic
Perhaps spending a day outdoors with the family is enough for you. Preparing sandwiches and small meals together with your kids can be a little bonding experience that they will find special. Not only that, but spending the afternoon outdoors at a park such as the La Mesa Eco Park or an open space to run, play, eat, and enjoy the outdoors is, in its own way, a celebration of life and love!
Spending quality time with your family during occasions like Easter is essential for creating strong bonds, lasting memories, and healthy relationships. Whether it’s having a picnic or going on an egg hunt, there are plenty of activities you and your family can do for Easter that can surely bring your family closer together!
