HOLY WEEK PASSPORTThis is your own Holy Week Passport.

Easter is an important festival in the Christian calendar. It celebrates the

resurrection from the dead of Jesus, three days after he died.

During Holy Week we think about Jesus’ last week and the things that happened.

In this passport there are activities you can do at home on each day to think about

Jesus.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ALL OF THEM. You pick and choose any of them you want to do each day. It doesn’t matter

which ones you pick.

Happy Easter and enjoy those chocolate eggs!

HOLY WEEK SYMBOLS BANNERHoly Week

You can make your banner over the whole

week. How to make it:

Hang the purple ribbon somewhere youʼll

reach and see it. We use purple as it is the

Churchʼs colour for the time of lent before

Easter.

Then cut and colour a symbol on the day

(check the passport activities) Then stick

onto the ribbon for that day and think about

what the symbol means, and what part of the Easter story it is telling. Or why not take them all off and see if you can get the story

in the right order!kidsonsundayskidsonsundays
