Holy Week and Easter

Palm Sunday is four days away. You could probably tell by my posts that I’m finalizing our plans for Holy Week and Easter. I have updated my top bar with Lent and Easter. Somehow all my Easter posts were missing.

I have also added a new category, Printables. I have not linked all my posts yet, but it might be helpful to have that category, and then subcategories depending on the liturgical season.

It is still a work in progress in updating my blog, but I have promised myself to not take on any new project until Holy Week is a distant memory.

Below is a compilation of my Holy Week and Easter related posts.

Prayers and Hymns for the Easter Season is similar to my Lent for Children Daily Display, O Antiphon Prayer Companion, and Christmas Prayer Companion which incorporates our favorite liturgical tools, an easel binder (or this one which is more expensive, but more durable and expandable) which we use daily at the table to highlight different thoughts for the liturgical seasons or feasts. The Easter season “Daily Display” which has a page for the week with Sunday’s Gospel (this is Year A) and artwork and antiphon and prayers for the week. The antiphon can be used before any prayer of the day, and the family prayers can either be used for morning and/or evening prayers, or meal prayers. The section in parentheses is for meal times. The artwork is full-color art images.

The second is a little booklet with black and white images, the prayers from the daily display, plus the Collect Prayers from the Sunday Masses, and also the lyrics to some key Easter hymns. This is paginated to print double-sided, and then fold and staple into a booklet. This is for everyone to be able to read along during family prayers. Print the first two pages on cardstock for a nice cover.
