What Is Holy Week?
When I was growing up Easter was a big event.
In the days leading up to the holiday, the adults would spend a lot of time preparing delicious food and dyeing eggs.
Sunday morning we would devour a lot of the chocolates in the basket the bunny had left us, get dressed up in our fancy new outfits, and go to my grandmother’s house where all my aunts, uncles, and cousins were waiting.
After what always seemed like the biggest meal I’d ever eaten, we would go out and hunt for the brightly colored eggs.
Oh how I loved to run through that grass looking for those treasures!
One day it dawned on me that Easter might be more than just bunnies and eggs.
I asked a relative about it and they explained to me what Easter is really about.
Easter is about celebrating the resurrection of Jesus.
It was also then that I learned there is an entire week that has to do with Easter.
