Follow the included instructions to create one for your child or a bunch for your students. Mary Magdalene in Gainesville put together a journal for kids to use through Holy Week and mark out the important events. Put the whole story of Christ’s ministry in context for the kids and build up anticipation for Good Friday, Bright Saturday, and the Feast of the Resurrection. If you are not able to attend or to stream all the services, Holy Week is a great time to crack open your Bibles and read the gospels.

Read spiritual books, listen to sermons, or study the Bible together. Do things together as a family, not in the virtual realm. For one week, give up on video games and television. I wrote a post to help you get started: “Your Child Can Fast Holy Week If…"Įliminate secular entertainment. Even if they didn’t fast any of Lent, they can tackle Holy Week.

It’s important to sanctify Holy Week to God, to spend time with Him in prayer and fasting, and to set this example especially for the kids.Įncourage your kids to fast.
