Holy Week. Came and Gone…

Holy Week. Came and Gone…

I took Wednesday through the Monday-after-Easter off of work to focus more on Holy Week.  I am so glad I did!  It was exhausting… and beautiful!  I think that each evening’s service was more beautiful than the one before!  The only thing that I didn’t get to go to was the Tenebrae service, which is a shame.  I always loved that service in the Lutheran church.  But it was held after evening Mass, and the kids were – horrid – !  I found out later that the service lasted an hour and a half.  It’s a good thing I didn’t force them to stay.  I don’t think that would have gone over too well.  But as the days went on, I think that the kids began to enjoy it more and become a bit more well-behaved.  It ended up being a very nice Paschal celebration!
