Monday is the start of Holy Week.
The cleansing of the temple in the Holy City of Jerusalem is thought to have taken place on this Monday.
Tuesday of Holy Week is the day when the churchmen tried to trap Jesus into making a blasphemous statement.
Wednesday is the day when Judas, a disciple, betrayed Jesus so Jesus could be captured.
Thursday of Holy Week is associated with the Last Supper. It is the day before the crucifixion.
Good Friday is the day when Jesus was crucified. It is the day that Christians believe that Jesus sacrificed himself for the sins of men.
The day following Good Friday is called Holy Saturday. The day comes at the end of forty days of fasting.
Easter Sunday is a day of rejoicing and happiness. It is the third day after the crucifixion. It is the day that Christ rose from the tomb, and showed himself to his disciples to carry out his work.

Hi Grandma!
This is a beautiful reminder of what we should be thinking about each day this week. So much more beautiful and important that baskets and bunnies!
ps: The video I had on my blog was just a trailer from Youtube of the movie that will be coming to theaters in October. I can't wait! I think it's funny that Dayna and I had the same idea!
Love you- and Grandpa!
