'Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for rightesousness, For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.'
- Matthew 5:3-10

We have been preparing for weeks for the most sacred time of year, Holy Week and Pascha. We have fasted, given to those in need, and increased our prayer life. However due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are left feeling anxious, fearful for the health of our loved ones and ourselves, missing the sacramental life of our beloved church. We must know even in the midst of this pandemic, HOLY WEEK still happens! The RESURRECTION still happens! Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tramples death by death for us to receive eternal life in His Heavenly Kingdom! 


This “Holy Week at Home Kit” may seem a little unorthodox but our hope it that it provides you and your family with all the tools necessary to still have an orthodox experience with the hope and love that is felt during this sacred week. This kit includes:
 

• Holy Week Workbook with a summary of each day, notes about the icon, activities for you to do at home and coloring sheets for the littlest parishioners
• Palms for Palm Sunday
• Purple Egg with a Crown of Thorns (representation for Bridegroom)
• Small Wooden Cross (representation for Thursday)
• White Candle for Friday Lamentations and Resurrection Service
•  Bay Leaf (representation for Holy Saturday)

A Special Thank you to Fr. Sampson Kasapakis of Annunciation Pensacola for putting the Holy Week At Home Kit together.
