One Easter for sunrise service I wanted to "recreate" in a modern way the Empty Tomb experience. I talked with the local undertaker with whom I worked regularly and he did a a false grave set up complete with one of their "economy" (think cardboard) caskets at the local cemetery early Sunday AM. I had napkins printed up with some little saying that we laid in the casket where the head would have been. That Easter morning happened to be foggy which made all of this even better. I did a devotion about coming to the tomb expecting to annoint the dead body of Christ and finding only a napkin. Invited the group to meditate on the experience and take a napkin as a memento. Probably could have done more with that... Let me know what you would do....
