Holy Week & Pascha Prep Printable
As Pascha draws near, I wanted to create a printable/planner to help you stay organized for Holy Week, prepare sufficiently for attending services, and have a smooth and grace-filled Holy Week and Pascha! A little foresight and planning before Holy Week begins goes a long way so we have a heart like Mary and we can focus on the one thing needful and not be a frazzled mess like Martha running around stressed!

Holy Week is a marathon for the faithful, and the task alone of attending as many services as possible is a worthy endeavor. These services and the experience of Holy Week remind us of the manner which we should always live - being totally devoted to God! We also have the unique opportunity to create traditions for our families - and we can do that without the need to acquire “All the things!” Find what works for your family and build on those traditions each year.
If you have a chance, I’d suggest sitting down and making a plan for how you will spend each day of the week, including what services your family will attend, what meals you will prepare/eat, and make a list of all the things you need to buy/collect. That being said, a little planning goes a long way to make this week a spiritually rich week for you and your family.
Each season will look differently, so let’s be careful not to compare our current season to someone else’s. You have been tasked to care for those right in front of you. Sometimes knowing our capabilities and limits help. Even if that means we bring pre-made food and some ice cream to Pascha! So don’t get too far ahead of ourselves that we miss the real celebration. Christ is Risen. Life reigns!
Good strength for the week ahead, dear friends!
