We Prepare: Holy Week
As we neared the end of our walk through the Stations of the Cross, we took some time to explore and learn about the last days of the life of Jesus. Our last week before leaving for Easter Break was the perfect time to do this.
We began each lesson with Bible readings (The Catholic Children's Bible) and Atrium works for each of these solemn days. Then we created a book page for each day, which was bound into a special little "Holy Week" book to take home. Lastly, we created a fun craft to coincide with each day with a coloring page as well.
