Holy Week Preparation Days
There are numerous churches offering online streaming of Mass and services during this holy week. Spend some time with other Christians during this most Holy time.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
• Clean the house: Think of spring housekeeping as a prayerful preparation for Easter in the same way that Jewish families clean in preparation for Passover.
• Color eggs: Decorated eggs are a symbol of new life that comes with the Resurrection. Make it more meaningful by helping your children write “Christ is Risen,” “Alleluia” or “Jesus loves us” on the eggs in crayon before coloring them.

Here is an activity to create your own Hosanna Branch. This can be easily adapted to using materials you have at home. You could even go outside and collect items from nature to create your own branch. Your child can wave their branch as you read the Passion, Matthew 21: 1=9. Please share your pictures!
