The Holy Week Box
The Holy Week Box will be a help for young children to have a better understanding of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Perhaps the Holy Week box can be a keepsake for retelling the Passion of Our Lord each year.

Holy Week Cube
I purchased this Holy Week cross/cube from Oriental Trading and used the clip art to create the mini Holy Week Book. A little work from the copier to change it up a little made each picture the right size for the spaces. IN-13721100 $4.98 for 12
****************************************
The Holy Week Mini Booklet
Unfolded the booklet looks like this. It can be colored. The page is half of 8.5 x 11 copy paper then folded to create 8 blocks for clip art.
*************************************************
Telling The Story
Using props, children can tell the story of the Passion as they place the objects on the pictures.
The clip art card objects are laminated.
***********************************************
The Easter Reminder
On the back of the box is clip art of Jesus hanging on the cross. His blood shed for us. The wooden Jesus can be placed on top of the cross as a reminder of His love for us and the forgiveness of our sins.
