April 15: The Easter Triduum, three days of prayer, church services and…. preparing food. Am I right?😅 But I suppose everyone must eat and there must be Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday.

Holy Week – Maundy Thursday
Wednesday, April 20th, 2022
April 14: Blessed Maundy Thursday. “With our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water” (Heb. 10:22), we enter the holy place with Jesus. For Jesus is our Passover Lamb who has been sacrificed for us. He reclines at table with us and feeds us with His own flesh and blood. In Christ, the Lord remembers us in mercy and remembers our sin no more; He forgives us all our iniquity. As He washes us and feeds us in love, let us love one another, just as He has loved us (John 13:34).”
Our traditional Holy Thursday feast. We’ve enjoyed this themed meal for many years now a little bit of joy during this Holy week, our kids always love it. This year I made something new, a Torta Pasqualina or Easter Pie and wow it was good. Sadly I forgot to get a picture of our table and the lovely faces around it but here’s some of our dishes.
Holy Week – Palm Sunday
Wednesday, April 20th, 2022
April 10: Blessed Palm Sunday. “And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross.”
Anyone else like to grab an arm full of palms on your way out of church to take home for Holy Week? After supper tonight there will be our traditional treat, “Palm Sundaes.”
Feast of the Annunciation
Tuesday, April 12th, 2022
March 27: Friday, March 25, was the Feast of the Annunciation, a little Christmas in March. It’s the day we hear the glorious news that our God becomes Flesh. He became Flesh so that He could know pain and grief, carry our sins, be stricken, smitten and afflicted.
“Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.” Isaiah 7:14
