Easter in Sandy Tales

On the sand table of sand artist Harm van Schaik, the story of Jesus’ suffering and resurrection comes to life. Discover the connection between Good Friday and Easter. In four beautiful Sandy Tales, we are taken from Palm Sunday to the hill of Golgotha and the women at the tomb. The stories of Thomas and Peter are also drawn in sand, touching on deeply human themes such as disbelief, doubt, forgiveness, and hope.

Four Sandy Tales videos tell the age-old story of hope and resurrection. Experience the story of Good Friday and Easter. Watch it on the big screen, in your living room, during your Easter brunch, or share it as an encouraging message on social media.

The final week of Jesus’ life is filled with powerful events. On Palm Sunday he is welcomed as a liberator. On Friday he dies as a criminal on a Roman wooden cross. But thankfully, the story does not end there. Death does not have the final word.

What would you do? The crowds give Jesus an enthusiastic welcome on Palm Sunday. Yet that very week he is arrested. Peter must have thought it was all over. Afraid, he lies about his friend, even swearing: “That man? I do not know him!” Days later, Peter comes face to face with Jesus again…

Early in the morning, at the beginning of the third day after Jesus’ death, Mary Magdalene goes to his tomb. To her shock, she discovers that the tomb is empty. Then she meets the gardener…

Thomas was not there when his friends saw Jesus. Just days earlier, he had died and been buried. Thomas does not simply believe what he hears. He wants to see Jesus for himself. The risen Lord comes again, especially for Thomas. And no one came closer than the doubter. He even placed his fingers in Jesus’ scars.
