Hi guys! Holy week for us christians is a time to reflect and commemorate on God's love for us. For others its a time to have vacation since it ahs been a very busy week.Others say its a boring week becasue most stores will not be open for business. In teh US, they do not set the holy week as holiday maybe they are not really that religious. For me, its a time to really revive our spiritual life, with our family.Make it a very worth time and develop a deeper realtionshop with God. So I am gonna support and attned our church's activities for this holy week.God bless us all.WHat about you?

I would love to go on vacation this holy week but because of my job, I just couldn't. Still, me and my family have plans this Friday...I just hope they would really go for it and won't be lazy when that day would come. Have a good week!

Hello Eljayo, I have work so I don't have that vacation moments compared to most people. And though I have work, still I am happy since I have a double pay...and I still have the time to be celebrating with the holy week. To start off the holiday, my boyfriend and I are planning to have our confession tomorrow. It's been a long time...I think a year already since I did it...so I am looking forward to it. And yeah, we will go to a place with my family in which we would pray for the station's of the cross and that will gonna be on Friday. So, my plans won't really be affected with my job. Have a good week.

Hi smurfysmurf!Its good that your job will nto affect this week. By the way, what do you usually do for the station of the cross?I am just curious.The best thing to do this week I guess is to renew our relationship with God. God bless.;)

I am not a religious person, so, I have no idea when it will be a holy week, and when it is not. I would normally do what I do everyday, attend to work, and return home to do my things online. That is my daily routine. Probably a holy week is a good time for everyone to get together.

I don't have any real big plans, I'm sure I will relax and enjoy time with my family and that will be great. It's always good to have days where you can spend time with your family and eat dinner and everything. I am planning to send a gift of drawing supplies to the child that I sponsor in the Phillipines, she's fifteen and she loves to draw and I think it would be awesome to get her a lot of drawing supplies to work with. I'm also going to send her family a cash gift and try to help them have a nice easter as well. That will make me feel great and will make me have a nice easter because I enjoy being able to help people out. Anyways I hope that you have a great easter as well.

It happened to be our wedding anniversary, so we are booking an overnight stay at an island resort. I feel a bit guilty about this, because customs say people have to celebrate Holy Week in a sacred way. However, we will surely be taking the time to pray and attend mass on Sunday when we return.
