This is the perfect handout to distribute to parishioners at the beginning of Holy Week. A simple, clear way to teach parishioners about the centrality of the days before Easter in the life of the church.
Each of these Amazing Days handouts celebrates a special day or time of the year. The texts describe the importance and the history of feasts, holy days or holidays and are accompanied by original art. Blessings for meals and many other suggestions for keeping these special days are included. The brief paragraphs provide starting points for discussion about why and how we observe special days each year and teach or remind us about some new or 'forgotten' Christian traditions.
Attractively designed with handsome artwork, each handout comes with a blank space that can be used to print announcements, readings, prayers, and school or parish notices. They can be sent home with the parish bulletin, mailed in a newsletter, distributed to school and religious education classes or handed out at parish meetings. What a great, easy way to make connections between home and parish!
Amazing Days handouts are legal size (8 1/2 x 14), printed in two colors on light-colored, quality paper stock that works well in most copiers and laser printers for customization.
