Devotional Practices—Holy Week
Written by Pastor Greg Priebbenow, Australia

Aim to gather as a household for a devotional time each day of Holy Week. Set aside a table or some bench space as a home altar area for the week.

Each day pray this opening prayer together:
“Loving God, lead us this Holy Week to see again how much you have done for us. Give us faith in Jesus our Savior and help us to always follow Him. Amen.”

Then listen to a Bible reading and add the daily symbol for Holy Week to your home altar area.
Mar. 28 - Palm Sunday: Palm Frond
Mar. 29 - Monday: Salt
Mar. 30 - Holy Tuesday: Stone
Mar. 31 - Holy Wednesday: Silver Coins
Apr. 1 - Maundy Thursday: Bread and Grape Juice
Apr. 2 - Good Friday: Nails
Apr. 3 - Holy Saturday: Piece of Broken pottery

End your time together each day with these words: “Go in the peace of Jesus, our Lord: He died that we might live. Amen.”

Apr. 4 - On Easter Sunday replace the symbols with an empty wooden cross and fresh flowers.
