For a long time I have looked for a clear and attractive graph or poster of the Plan of Salvation. It is easier for children and adults to better understand the Plan once it is laid out for them. Despite appreciating one recently published in a church magazine, it is imperfect because it lacks critical elements like the Fall of Adam and Eve. To address this, I have created a revised, detailed version with added scriptural references and explanations to people understand the Plan of Salvation. This poster can be downloaded and printed for free by everyone in this article.

The Real History of Easter and Its Symbols
I’m sure that you have heard that Easter is not a Christian holiday, that it is actually a pagan holiday that Christians copied or stole and that the name Easter comes from the pagan goddess Eostre that used to be worshipped on this day. You may have also heard that the reason rabbits and eggs are associated with Easter is because they are signs of sexual fertility and were symbols of the pagan goddess Eostre. This all sounds very convincing. There is just one problem.
None of it is true.
Easter is a completely Christian holiday that has nothing to do with paganism at all.
And here is the historical proof.
Heaven Is Real, Hell Is Real, and Why Life Matters
Why does Pascha, Easter, matter?
The story of Pascha is phenomenal, but why does it matter that Christ atoned for Death and Hell? Why does it matter that salvation and exaltation are open to all? What really is worth celebrating at this time of year?
This forgotten LDS Classic by N.L. Nelson on the reality of Heaven, the reality of Hell, and the richness, depth, and meaning these truths imbue into our lives answers these questions and more.
This is why Pascha matters and why it is the pinnacle of Christian holy days.
