I love holy week. So much meaning, so much symbolism, so much ceremony. It's a week of new beginnings. The long dark months of winter and lent are coming to a crescendo with the triumphal entry of Palm Sunday, the observance of Passover on Maundy Thursday, the dispair in the garden, the kiss, the death of Good Friday and the Joy and life of Easter Sunday. Those are the biblical parts.
The real life parts, the in-your-face, touch-me parts of Holy week are the return of baseball, the beginning of open-toed shoes, the blossoming of the lilies picked up at church last week, the break in the legislative session, watching JC Superstar & the Prince of Egypt.
This week I also stumbled upon a beautiful online lenten calendar. A new watercolor everyday. They're super cool and pretty and I love it:
