Holy Week
A Devotional

What is Holy Week?

Holy Week is a significant period in the Christian liturgical calendar that commemorates the events leading up to the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It begins on Palm Sunday, which marks Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and concludes with Easter Sunday, celebrating his resurrection.

The purpose of the Holy Week devotional?

This 8 day devotional has been curated to help guide you through Holy Week,

starting on Palm Sunday and ending on Easter. Each entry is designed to take

15 – 45 minutes, depending on how much time you have to spend. Each day,

you will find the same components: an icon, a text from the Gospels, a Psalm, a

devotional, a short prayer, and a few reflection questions.

​

If you are able, begin each reading by closing your eyes, opening your hands,

and taking a few deep breaths, as you welcome the Holy Spirit. The Gospel

text will frame the day’s focus in each devotional. The icon, Psalm, and prayer

are meant to help guide you in prayer, as you practice God’s presence and

remember the One who draws near. You can end each time by praying or

journaling through each of the question prompts.

​

Our hope is that you journey with us this Holy Week, placing yourself into

the story by prayer and reading, as a way of experiencing his presence and

comfort as we eagerly await his return, and gather with us to celebrate Easter on

Sunday, March 31st.
