Hallelujah!
*Almost*
As we finally finish our journey through the quiet and dark wilderness of Lent, we begin our transition to the bright light and loud “hallelujah!” of Easter morning.
The week before Easter (starting Palm Sunday, April 13 and ending the night before Easter Sunday, April 20) is Holy Week. Holy Week is celebrated all across the world through drama, parades, and various kinds of worship services that celebrate the final days and death of Jesus. Now, while some of the stories might not provide the best script for an at-home drama production (I’m certain there’s a ‘do not try this at home’ warning in the footnotes of the crucifixion story) there’s plenty of ways to make Holy Week an important part of your family’s Holy Week. Below are a few scriptures and activities to help your family celebrate Holy Week together.
