When we think of Easter, we often picture lilies, sunrise services, and perhaps a bunny or two. But one of the most quietly powerful symbols of Easter is the humble donkey.
In the days leading up to Easter, Jesus entered Jerusalem not on a horse of war, but on a donkey — a creature of peace and humility. This wasn’t just a random detail; it fulfilled an ancient prophecy (Zechariah 9:9) and set the tone for the kind of kingdom Jesus was building — one grounded in gentleness, love, and grace.
Donkeys may not be flashy, but they’re strong, steady, and faithful — much like the spirit of Easter itself. They carry burdens, walk with the weary, and don’t ask for applause. In many ways, they remind us to slow down, stay grounded, and carry love wherever we go.
This Easter, as we celebrate new life and fresh hope, let’s remember the donkey — a quiet hero in the greatest story ever told.
Today’s free download is a bookmark depicting Palm Sunday, when Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem.
Finished donkey measures approximately 23” tall (sitting), 18” wide
NOTE: Ch-2 method to start a circle is preferred over magic ring when using blanket yarn. The bulkiness of the yarn prevents the hole that worsted sometimes leaves when using the ch-2 method.

Spring is in the air, flowers are blooming, and Easter is just around the corner! Along with colorful eggs and chocolate bunnies, lambs and goats often make an appearance during this season. Whether you see them in farm petting zoos, Easter decorations, or even on traditional dinner tables, these animals have a deep-rooted connection to Easter celebrations.
Lambs have long been associated with Easter, particularly in Christian traditions. In the Bible, Jesus is often referred to as the “Lamb of God,” symbolizing sacrifice, purity, and renewal. Many cultures serve lamb as part of their Easter feast, continuing a tradition that dates back to Passover in Jewish history.
Beyond religious symbolism, lambs also represent new beginnings. Spring is lambing season, making these adorable baby animals a perfect symbol of rebirth and fresh starts—just like Easter itself!
While goats aren’t as commonly linked to Easter as lambs, they are still a big part of springtime celebrations. Baby goats, or “kids,” are born around the same time as lambs and bring energy and fun to the season. Their playful, mischievous nature embodies the joy of Easter and the excitement of warmer days ahead.
On farms and in petting zoos, both lambs and goats are popular attractions for families celebrating Easter. Many people visit farms to see the newborn animals, feed them, and take part in Easter egg hunts set against a picturesque rural backdrop.
