Words are ...
“This week alone, unique in the full sense of the word, is the week
of the Lord’s Passion. It is Holy Week.” St John Paul II
What did the crowds spread on the path in front of Jesus? This coming Sunday is known as
Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord. It is the start of Holy Week. This is the week when
the Church especially remembers Jesus’ final days in Jerusalem. Palms will be handed out in
Church in remembrance of the welcome and great praise that the people gave to Jesus when
he entered the City. You might like to tell your child something that you know about Holy
Week. As a family, look at these small pictures together. What do they remind you of or
make you think about?
“Holy Week is a time to give Jesus our hearts. On the Cross
He gave us all of His love.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
Holy Week is a very special time: it includes Palm Sunday, the celebration of the Last
Supper, the washing of feet, the agony in the garden, Jesus’ arrest, crucifixion and his
resurrection. Everybody is invited to come and join with the Church this Sunday and receive a
palm leaf, blessed by the priest, to take home. As a family, share ideas about what else you
could do, or join in with, to celebrate the start of Holy Week and make it special. To find out
more about Holy Week, please see: cbcew.org.uk
