Living History Is Coming to the Creation Museum for Easter

Easter Living History will help you understand the historical context of the Gospels and what life was like during Jesus’ time on earth. What a fun way to bring the Bible to life for your kids! Here’s what you can experience:

1. An auxiliary military camp with soldiers. You’ll discover how the military garrison of Judaea functioned under the Roman governors and why extra troops were needed in Jerusalem during Passover.
2. A money changers’ table (like the tables Jesus flipped over in the temple in Matthew 21:12–13). This display will highlight how the temple tax system and bank worked. Guests will even have the opportunity to change some of their “foreign money” for a replica half-shekel that would have been used to pay the temple tax. Also learn about typical wages and currency exchange.
3. A baker’s shop. Passover is observed during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, so many travelers would need to buy bread. Baker’s shops got busy! See a clay oven at work and discover how family prep for the Passover meal would have looked.
4. An optional display on Roman justice and punishment (parental discretion advised for younger children). Learn about Roman justice and methods of punishment, including flogging and crucifixion.

Easter is a great time to visit the Creation Museum or the Ark Encounter. If you’re traveling to see family, plan an extra day to stop by to experience Living History and everything else the Creation Museum has to offer.

Come visit the two leading Christian themed attractions in the world—the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum located in Northern Kentucky.
