Make Holy Week Holy

Springtime Reminds Brings Rebirth and New Life

For Christians, the Most Holy Week of the Year Is Here

For many, Christmas is the most Holy week of the year. That may be because it is so widely celebrated, even by those of other faiths or those of no particular faith. Along with all holidays, there is a tendency to focus on the fun, the parties, the food, the kids, the wonder, and all that goes along. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are making a mindful effort to focus on Jesus this week and to come closer to Him this year, and hopefully, these efforts will lead to year-round momentum.

To help with that, I put together this guide to help you focus a little each day on Christ and the last week of his mortal ministry, leading to the glorious atonement and resurrection. This gift of love from the Father and Christ is given to all who have ever lived. The guide includes scriptures to read each day, ideas for prayers that may help you get closer to Christ, interfaith practices to help us understand and love our neighbors, and activity ideas for each day of the week.

You can download the guide using the button below. It is free, not tracked, and requires no login or information.

If you want to know more about our efforts and focus this week, this short video below is a wonderful invitation and testimony of Christ. It can also clarify our (and my) belief in the literal resurrection of Christ.

Without the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, our faith would be in vain. But because He conquered death, we have hope that never fades, peace that surpasses understanding, and the eternal promise of life with Him. As Easter approaches, the First Presidency invites us to do more than simply celebrate this sacred event—we are called to live in its light and remember the #GreaterLove that made it possible. As Jesus taught, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Because of His infinite love and sacrifice, we will all rise again. Let us strengthen our families, share our testimonies, and embrace traditions that reflect the true meaning of Easter. This season, may our hearts echo the exclamation heard around the world: "He is Risen!"
