Holy Week Activities ~ Actividades para Semana Santa 2018

Holy Week is the most sacred week in the Christian Liturgical Calendar. It remembers the last week of Jesus’ live on earth. These days lead to the great feast of Easter.

I share some activities I did with my prayer group and CCD students over the last past years. 

Easter must  be a Celebration of hope, love and faith.

Es la última semana de la cuaresma, que se dedica a recordar la pasión, muerte y resurrección de Jesús. Inicia el Domingo de Ramos y termina el Domingo de Resurrección.  

Semana Santa es la semana más sagrada en el calendario litúrgico cristiano. Recuerda la última semana de Jesús vivo en la tierra hasta llegar a la gran fiesta de la Pascua. 

La Pascua deber ser una celebración de esperanza, amor y fe.
