Easter Tradition

Here is something the Freeman's have been doing around the Easter Dinner table for years.
The oldest person gets the honor of saying, "He is Risen." The rest of us at the table reply, "He is Risen Indeed."
Since Cindy's mom Shirley was the oldest, she got to say, "He is Risen."
I can remember some Easter dinners in Hanford where she lived, where she would be so happy that all of her kids and grandkids were with her that she would cry while saying, "He is Risen."
Well, Shirley is surely in heaven now and Cindy is one who says, "He is Risen." The tradition continues.
I would love to hear of other Easter traditions that you do.
"HE IS RISEN!" "HE HAS RISEN INDEED!"

It's a little bit different at my family's Easter gathering.... usually there is wine and cheese and raviolis involved, and occasionally a goat gets roasted.... nieces and nephews look for eggs hoping they get the one with money in it, and I sit back and love my family and pray some things will change. And He still has risen indeed.
