Holy Week


Holy Week is the last week in Lent and the week that leads up to when Jesus died on the cross.

On the first day of Holy Week Jesus came into Jerusalem on a donkey. Everyone put palms down on the ground for the donkey to ride on. That day is called Palm Sunday because the people put palms down and it was a Sunday.

On the second day Jesus went up into the mountains to see the leapers. The leapers were suffering so Jesus healed them. Leapers have a disease that makes parts of their body slowly fade away to nothing. In those days the leapers all lived in the mountains together to stay away from the people who had no disease. Also that day when he went to his Father’s house, (the temple) he found that the people had turned the temple into a market place. Jesus got so angry, he pushed all of the stuff onto the ground and shouted, “GET OUT!!!!!!” All the people ran out, scared.

On the third day Jesus had the last supper with his disciples. In that supper Jesus broke the bread and shared it and he also shared the wine. He called the bread his body and the wine his blood. Also he said, “Remember me like this.” The last thing that happened in the last supper was he said, “ One of you are going to betray me.” The Disciples were all shocked.

On the Fourth day Jesus went up the Mountain to ask God to take away his pain because he really didn’t want to die on the cross, he was fully human so he could feel all the pain that we would. As he prayed he realised that he had to die on the cross....That was the whole reason he came down to earth in the first place.
