Journey Through Holy Week
Jerusalem
On Palm Sunday, the people greeted Jesus Christ when He came to Jerusalem. They shouted “Hosanna” to celebrate. Hosanna is a Hebrew word for “please save us.”
On the night of the Last Supper, Jesus washed His disciples’ feet. He set an example of humble service for us to follow.
The Garden of Gethsemane
At the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus Christ prayed and felt every single person’s pains and troubles. He suffered for our sins.
The Tomb
Joseph of Arimathea asked if he could take care of Jesus Christ’s body after He died. Joseph gave up his own new tomb for Jesus to have a good resting place.
Mary Magdelene was the first to see the Savior after His Resurrection. She ran to tell the Apostles the good news!
The Americas
After His death, Jesus Christ visited His “other sheep” around the world. One place He visited was the Americas. They felt the wounds in His hands and feet and knew that He was the resurrected Savior.
