Join my family as we prepare to celebrate Holy Thursday!
Holy Thursday is a day of contradictions. On the evening of Holy Thursday, Jesus’ Passion began. But before that, he gathered with his friends to celebrate the Last Supper and at this meal, he instituted the Eucharist and the sacramental priesthood, truly something to celebrate! Maybe even with sculpted marshmallows and cereal?!
Join us as we prepare a special Last Supper-inspired meal of lamb, potato knishes, bitter herb salad, homemade applesauce, flatbread, and dessert and share ideas for family activities that help kids understand the beauty of this complicated day. Also, Bobby makes a huge mess of the dessert and you’re not going to want to miss that.
You can watch the Holy Thursday episode exclusively at Formed.org.
P.s. If you’re looking for a Holy Thursday soundtrack, I have you covered with this playlist I created! It’s perfect to listen to while you make your Holy Thursday dinner.
