They explored the striking similarities between this classic tale and the message of Easter, reminding us of the power of love, sacrifice, and transformation.

In Beauty and the Beast, the Beast is trapped in a cursed state until love breaks the spell, offering him a new beginning. In the Easter story, Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection bring hope and redemption to the world, offering us all the chance for renewal. Just as Belle chooses to see beyond the Beast’s appearance and love him for who he truly is, Easter teaches us about God’s love for humanity—seeing our true worth and offering us grace, no matter our flaws.

Keren and Suzie encouraged us to reflect on how Easter is a time of transformation, much like in Beauty and the Beast. It’s about moving from darkness to light, despair to hope, and brokenness to renewal. They challenged us to think about how we can show love and kindness in our own lives, just as Jesus did.
