Holy Week 2024: History, traditions and activities
Description
Did you know that the paschal, or Easter Greeting, "Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed," likely dates back to the earliest days of the Christian church? The marvel of the resurrection of Christ has been capturing the hearts and minds of Christians since the first disciples discovered in wonder that the stone had been rolled away.
Holy Week, or Great Week as it is known in some traditions, is worth celebrating and observing!
On the episode today we will discuss the history of Holy Week observance in the church, learn about Easter traditions around the globe, walk through what Jesus did each day of Passion Week, and chat through some fun activities and traditions to celebrate the Resurrection between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.
May we never stop marveling at what Christ has done.
Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!!
