It’s HERE!

Ever since I reviewed All About Advent and Christmas by Katherine Bogner and Shari Van Vranken, I’ve been hoping for their next edition All About Lent and Holy Week!

And it DOES NOT disappoint!

Once again, this book is exquisitely illustrated and includes everything you and your family need to know about Lent and Holy Week!

This book is a comprehensive compilation of the Traditions and Teachings of the Liturgical Seasons of Lent and Holy Week.

Lent is introduced in a storybook style, presenting Jesus’s 40 Days in the Wilderness and how this relates to the 40 Days of Lent.

The Liturgical Seasons are presented with their liturgical colors, and the significance and symbols of Lent are described along with the special days within Lent (starting with Ash Wednesday), including all the days of Holy Week and finishing with the Easter Vigil of the Holy Triduum.

The three characteristics or primary practices of Lent (Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving) are presented along with the Works of Mercy, the Stations of the Cross, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and important concepts such as Repentance and Conversion, and the Sacrament of Confession.

There is so much to discover in this beautiful book! All the teaching is beautifully articulated with exquisite drawings, classic prayers, quotes from Saints, and Scriptural references. and recommendations for simple Lenten devotions and practices within our rich Traditions of the Catholic Faith!
