How Do We Prepare for Easter? 2 STUDENT CONTEXT At this level students are increasingly able to separate fantasy from reality and to understand the meaning of key symbols of faith. With this ability comes the opportunity for education concerning the significance of symbols such as the Paschal Candle. Students may already have some experience of Lent and Easter in their Parish and may have participated in class and school celebrations of the Eucharist as well as Prayer Services as. For many though this may be the first recognition that there is a connection between the Last Supper and the Eucharist. They would have also experienced a variety of ways of praying: formal, informal, communal and private prayer. THEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND FOR TEACHERS The Resurrection of Jesus is the crowning truth of our faith in Christ, a faith believed and lived as the central truth by the first Christian community; handed on as fundamental by Tradition; established by the documents of the New Testament; and preached as an essential part of the Paschal mystery along with the cross. Christ is risen from the dead! Dying, he conquered dearth; To the dead, he has given life. (Byzantine Liturgy) CCC 638 The Paschal Mystery has two aspects: by his death, Christ liberates us from sin; by his resurrection, he opens for us the way to new life. CCC par 654 Faith in the resurrection has as its object an event which is historically attested to by the disciples, who really encountered the Risen One. At the same time, this event is mysteriously transcendent insofar as it is the entry of Christ s humanity into the glory of God. CCC par 656 Eastertide includes the whole period of fifty days starting with the Easter Vigil and concluding at Pentecost. It commemorates Jesus Resurrection, Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit. In inviting the apostles to share a meal with him, Jesus gave them a sacrament, a sacred meal through which they could uniquely experience his presence. The Second Vatican Council states that the Liturgy most of all the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, is the outstanding means whereby the faithful can express in their lives, and manifest to others, the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church. (Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, n.2) The Council also describes the Eucharist as the source and summit of the entire Christian life. (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, n.11) The Last Supper on Holy Thursday evening was an important meal. Whether originally a Passover meal or farewell meal, it was celebrated with a view to the coming of the Kingdom of God. By sharing broken bread and wine poured as his flesh and blood, Jesus gave his disciples a share in the power of his death to make atonement for sins and to establish a new Covenant. The story of the Last Supper and its links to the Eucharist challenges the students to think symbolically and to recognise symbols, including words and images. The Church s sacramental celebrations use many symbolic actions and signs that seek to make tangible realities that are inexpressible. Eucharist is a Greek word eucharia - that means thanksgiving.
3 3 The Resurrection story is about the religious response of people to the risen Christ. The Easter Triduum of the passion and resurrection of the Lord begins with the evening Mass of the Lord s Supper, reaches its high point in the Easter Vigil, and closes with Evening Prayer on Easter Sunday, the Sunday of the Lord s Resurrection. (Roman Missal: Calendar nn.18-19) A powerful symbol used throughout the Easter season is the Paschal Candle. In the early centuries practical necessity required the lighting of a fire and lamps to provide light. This simple necessity easily took on a solemnity and the natural symbolism of fire and light was expanded to include a reference to religious truths. The lighted Paschal candle became a symbol of Christ, Light of the world. In the blessing of the candle, a cross is traced on it. The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, Alpha and Omega, are added above and below; then around the centre, the numbers of the current year. While making the sign, the priest says, 1. Christ yesterday and today, 2. the beginning and the end, 3. Alpha 4. and Omega, 5. all time belongs to him, 6. and all the ages 7. to him be the glory and power, 8. through every age for ever. Amen. Five grains of incense are placed in the Cross to represent the five wounds of Jesus. As the priest lights the Candle from the new fire he says, May the light of Christ, rising in glory, dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds. (Diocese of Broken Bay, Lent and Easter units) EASTER SEASON During the fifty days of the Easter Season, which runs from Easter Sunday until Pentecost, we hear again and again these words which are part of every preface: We praise you with greater joy than ever in this Easter season, when Christ became our paschal sacrifice. The Roman document on the liturgical year says that these fifty days are celebrated in joyful exultation as one feast day, or better as one great Sunday. Perhaps the best way to understand the Easter season is to consider it as an overflow of the Vigil and a time for unfolding the Easter mysteries. During the fifty days the Church continues to instruct the newly initiated about the faith which they have embraced. For these people it is the period of mystagogy when the spiritual and heavenly mysteries of the Church are explained. At the same time all members of the community are called to reflect on the meaning of their own baptism and to celebrate the conversion which has happened during Lent. Together we focus on living our faith, on the meaning of the eucharist and the power of the Spirit in our lives, the challenge to respond to ministry in the Church and our responsibility to witness to the risen Lord in the world. The continuity between the Easter Vigil and Eastertime is seen in the worship environment. Banners, hangings and other artistic creations for the Vigil remain in place until Pentecost. The central symbols of water and light are used throughout the fifty days. The paschal candle is placed near the ambo or altar until Pentecost and is lighted during liturgical celebrations to remind us that Christ is indeed our light. The use of the rite of sprinkling is a powerful and tangible reminder of the Vigil and initiation. Celebrating confirmation, first communion and infant baptism during the Easter season unfolds the wonders of Easter and gives witness to our belief that Jesus is risen and present among us. The document on the liturgical year says that the fifty days of the Easter season are the days for the singing of the Alleluia. Eastertime present us with great reasons to greet the gospel with special joy in song. If ever eucharistic acclamations were to be shouts of joy, it is now! The hymns of the Easter season liturgies are filled with alleluia and praise as the church proclaims the hope of resurrection. Early Christians called Eastertime the Sunday of the year as it is to the whole year what Sunday is to the week, that is, one-seventh. It is time for celebrating our new life in Christ and our participation in the paschal mystery. It is fifty days, but it is really one day the Great Sunday (Elizabeth Harrington Liturgy Lines The Easter Season 30/04/2000). NB When planning it is suggested that two units be prepared so that the students can focus on Holy Week prior to Easter and then explore the mystery of Easter after the holiday break. The Easter Season lasts for 50 days and concludes on Pentecost Sunday.
4 4 SCRIPTURE This table lists the Gospels used for Holy Week in each of the three years of the Church s Liturgical Cycle i.e. A, B and C. Passion (Palm) Sunday The following Gospels are proclaimed after the blessing of the palms. Year A Year B Year C Matthew 21:1-11 Mark 11:1-10 or John 12:12-16 Luke 19:28-40 During Mass, a longer Gospel is proclaimed by the Priest, Ministers of the Word and the congregation. See the Holy Week section of the Sunday Missal for these. Holy Thursday John 13:1-5 Jesus Washes the Feet of his Disciples Good Friday John 18:1-19:42 The Passion of Jesus according to John Easter Vigil Year A Year B Year C Matthew 28:1-10 Easter Sunday John 20:1-9 Mark 16:1-7 Luke 24:1-12 John 13:1-15 Jesus Washes the Feet of His Disciples Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord, are you going to wash my feet? Jesus answered, You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand. Peter said to him, You will never wash my feet. Jesus answered, Unless I wash you, you have no share with me. Simon Peter said to him, Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head! Jesus said to him, One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you. For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, Not all of you are clean. After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. John 13:12-15 Jesus Message at the Lord s Supper After Jesus had washed his disciples feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again. Then he said: Do you understand what I have done? You call me your teacher and Lord, and you should, because that is who I am. And if your Lord and teacher has washed your feet, you should do the same for each other. I have set the example, and you should do for each other exactly what I have done for you. Mark 14:22-24 The Lord s Supper During the meal Jesus took some bread in his hands. He blessed the bread and broke it. Then he gave it to his disciples and said, Take this. It is my body. Jesus picked up a cup of wine and gave thanks to God. He gave it to his disciples, and they all drank some. Then he said, This is my blood, which is poured out for many people, and with it God makes his agreement. Luke 23: The Death of Jesus Around noon the sky turned dark and stayed that way until the middle of the afternoon. The sun stopped shining, and the curtain in the temple split down the middle. Jesus shouted, Father, I put myself in your hands! Then he died. When the Roman officer saw what had happened, he praised God and said, Jesus must really have been a good man!
5 5 Mark 16:1-7 - Jesus Is Alive After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James bought some spices to put on Jesus body. Very early on Sunday morning, just as the sun was coming up, they went to the tomb. On their way, they were asking one another, Who will roll the stone away from the entrance for us? But when they looked, they saw that the stone had already been rolled away. And it was a huge stone! The women went into the tomb, and on the right side they saw a young man in a white robe sitting there. They were alarmed. The man said, Don t be alarmed! You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, who was nailed to a cross. God has raised him to life, and he isn t here. You can see the place where they put his body. Now go and tell his disciples, and especially Peter, that he will go ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you. Luke 24:1-12 Jesus is Alive Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices that they had prepared. When they found the stone rolled away from the entrance, they went in. But they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus and they did not know what to think. Suddenly two men in shining white clothes stood beside them. The women were afraid and bowed to the ground. But the men said, Why are you looking in the place of the dead for someone who is alive? Jesus isn t here! He has been raised from death. Remember that while he was still in Galilee, he told you, The Son of man will be handed over to sinners who will nail him to a cross. Then they remembered what Jesus had said. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James and some other women were the ones who had gone to the tomb. When they returned, they told the eleven apostles and the others what had happened. The apostles thought it was all nonsense and they would not believe. But Peter ran to the tomb. And when he stooped down and looked in, he saw only the burial clothes. Then he returned, wondering what had happened. John 20: 1-18 Jesus Is Alive On Sunday morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran to Simon Peter and to Jesus favourite disciple and said, They have taken the Lord from the tomb! We don t know where they have put him. Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. They ran side by side, until the other disciple ran faster than Peter and got there first. He bent over and saw the strips of linen cloth lying inside the tomb, but he did not go in. When Simon Peter got there, he went into the tomb and saw the strips of cloth. He also saw the piece of cloth that had been used to cover Jesus face. It was rolled up and in a place by itself. The disciple who got there first then went into the tomb, and when he saw it, he believed. At that time Peter and the other disciple did not know that the Scriptures said Jesus would rise to life. So the two of them went back to the other disciples. Mark Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene Mary Magdalene stood crying outside the tomb. She was still weeping, when she stooped down and saw two angels inside. They were dressed in white and were sitting where Jesus body had been. One was at the head and the other was at the foot. 1The angels asked Mary, Why are you crying? She answered, They have taken away my Lord s body! I don t know where they have put him. As soon as Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know who he was. Jesus asked her, Why are you crying? Who are you looking for? She thought he was the gardener and said, Sir, if you have taken his body away, please tell me, so I can go and get him. Then Jesus said to her, Mary! She turned and said to him, Rabboni. The Aramaic word Rabboni means Teacher. Jesus told her, Don t hold on to me! I have not yet gone to the Father. But tell my disciples that I am going to the one who is my Father and my God, as well as your Father and your God. Mary Magdalene then went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord. She also told them what he had said to her.
6 6 John 20: Jesus Appears to His Disciples The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very happy. After Jesus had greeted them again, he said, I am sending you, just as the Father has sent me. Then he breathed on them and said, Receive the Holy Spirit. f you forgive anyone s sins, they will be forgiven. But if you don t forgive their sins, they will not be forgiven. Jesus and Thomas Although Thomas the Twin was one of the twelve disciples, he wasn t with the others when Jesus appeared to them. So they told him, We have seen the Lord! But Thomas said, First, I must see the nail scars in his hands and touch them with my finger. I must put my hand where the spear went into his side. I won t believe unless I do this! A week later the disciples were together again. This time, Thomas was with them. Jesus came in while the doors were still locked and stood in the middle of the group. He greeted his disciples and said to Thomas, Put your finger here and look at my hands! Put your hand into my side. Stop doubting and have faith! Thomas replied, You are my Lord and my God! Jesus said, Thomas, do you have faith because you have seen me? The people who have faith in me without seeing me are the ones who are really blessed! John 21: 1-14 Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake Tiberias. Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with two other disciples. Simon Peter said, I m going fishing! The others said, We will go with you. They went out in their boat. But they didn t catch a thing that night. Early the next morning Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize who he was. Jesus shouted, Friends, have you caught anything? No! they answered. So he told them, Let your net down on the right side of your boat, and you will catch some fish. They did, and the net was so full of fish that they could not drag it up into the boat. Jesus favourite disciple told Peter, It s the Lord! When Simon heard that it was the Lord, he put on the clothes that he had taken off while he was working. Then he jumped into the water. The boat was only about a hundred yards from shore. So the other disciples stayed in the boat and dragged in the net full of fish. When the disciples got out of the boat, they saw some bread and a charcoal fire with fish on it. Jesus told his disciples, Bring some of the fish you just caught. Simon Peter got back into the boat and dragged the net to shore. In it were one hundred fifty-three large fish, but still the net did not rip. Jesus said, Come and eat! But none of the disciples dared ask who he was. They knew he was the Lord. Jesus took the bread in his hands and gave some of it to his disciples. He did the same with the fish. This was the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from death. John 21:15-17 Jesus and Peter When Jesus and his disciples had finished eating, he asked, Simon son of John, do you love me more than the others do? Simon Peter answered, Yes, Lord, you know I do! Then feed my lambs, Jesus said. Jesus asked a second time, Simon son of John, do you love me? Peter answered, Yes, Lord, you know I love you! Then take care of my sheep, Jesus told him. Jesus asked a third time, Simon son of John, do you love me? Peter was hurt because Jesus had asked him three times if he loved him. So he told Jesus, Lord, you know everything. You know I love you. Jesus replied, Feed my sheep.
7 Planning a Learning Sequence Understanding Goals Jesus was welcomed into Jerusalem. The Church remembers and celebrates this on Palm (Passion) Sunday. Followers of Jesus pray in the way he did praise, Suggested Assessment Tasks Using given pictures of the key events of Holy Week and the first Easter Sunday morning as cues, students recount the events. Students contribute to celebrating Holy Week and 7 Level Focus Jesus reveals God s love for us. Overarching Goal Example: Through their study of the stories and symbols of Holy Week and Easter, students will begin to gain some understanding of the richness of the celebration of through ritual and symbol. Divide teaching time into appropriate sections before and after the Easter holiday break to bring out the sense of joy experienced by the Church during the season of Easter. Focus Question Example: How do the rituals and symbols of Holy week and Easter help people to understand the mystery of Jesus life, death and resurrection? thanks and petition. Jesus shared the Last Supper with his friends. This was a ritual meal which is part of Jewish tradition. We celebrate our love for each other when we share food together. On Good Friday the church remembers and celebrates Jesus death. God raised Jesus to a new life. The Church celebrates this at Easter. The Easter/ Pascal candle is a symbol of the risen Jesus who is with us today. Jesus is present when the Church listens to the Word of God, celebrates the Eucharist and the Sacraments, gathers in prayer and cares for the world. Indicators of Learning Demonstrated when students: 1. Recount the key events of Holy Week from the Gospels. 2. Contribute to and participate in a variety of prayer experiences related to the celebration of Holy Week and the Easter Triduum. 3. Match and explain the importance of the rituals and symbols associated with. 4. Describe how the Paschal Candle and the Alleluia are used in prayer and liturgy during the Easter season to celebrate that Jesus is risen 5. Compose a prayer and a simple ritual that may be shared with their families during the Easter season. the Easter Triduum by writing a prayer or setting up a prayer focus including Easter symbols and participate in prayer services with class, school and parish. List some of the ways the Paschal Candle is used in church. Name why we use Alleluia in our prayers and liturgies. Participate in Easter fun activities to celebrate the season of Easter. Ask children to consider, What it would be like if Jesus had not risen? Explain the importance of the symbols on the Paschal candle. Name three reasons for using this candle when the class gathers to pray.
8 8 Suggested Learning and Teaching Experiences Focusing Activity Share times when they have gathered with others for a celebratory meal. Learning Activity Christians believe that Jesus is risen and alive. Find or describe situations in which Christians believe the risen Jesus is present and active. Jesus is present in our sad and happy times. Assist the children to recall what they remember of the events of Holy Week. Build up a record the events of Holy Week in a book or on a cube using words, symbols or illustrations. Paint a wall frieze of the Holy Week events. Share some Hot Cross buns and talk about important meals including The last Supper. Use John 13:1-15 either read or retell the Event of the Washing of the Feet. Draw from the children the message Jesus gave us in this action. Plan a brief action around this passage, Children write/draw how they too can help others (symbolically Wash the feet of others). They place their written/drawn action in a bowl near a jug and towel. Spend some time in silence reflecting on their promise and asking God to help them remember to follow it through. This is our way of remembering what Jesus said at the Last Supper. Jesus is with us when we do these good things. Role play a variety of situations that show how Jesus is with us. *Prepare and participate in a whole class/school celebration focussing on the events of Easter *View the inside of the local parish church and discuss, in pairs, the special signs that tell us Jesus has risen. *Introduce the Easter symbols and use all or some in one of the variety of prayer experiences provided Participate in a guided meditation in which you imagine you are witnessing the events that occurred after the Resurrection. Refer to the Scriptures. Prepare a class prayer describing/thanking Jesus for being with us. Celebrate a class/school events in Holy Week. Use one or more of the suggested Scripture References and ask the students to: Complete a cloze activity Write the Easter Story in their own words Prepare a drama about the First Easter Morning (refer to the Scriptures); groups could prepare a section. Prepare a retelling of the Easter Story and visit a Junior Grade to retell it. Discuss with the class what difference it would make to the world if Jesus is not risen. Decorate a large Alleluia and display it prominently. Arrange a class prayer which includes a procession. Change the purple clothe to white and add some Easter symbols. Keep the Crucifix, Bible and candle. Light the candle and say an appropriate prayer and sing an Easter Song. Cover a large cylinder to represent an Easter candle and explain the symbols on it Alpha, Omega, Numbers, Cross, Sites of the Incense. Use this in your Easter Procession. Organise a fun day to celebrate Easter. Organise special Easter foods and have Easter Sports eg the Easter egg and spoon race. Sing some Alleluia songs. Use a set of pictures or photos about the Easter Triduum and discuss the events, symbols and rituals portrayed. Focus on the Eucharistic acclamation Christ has died, Christ is risen and Christ will come again. Discuss the meaning of Christ s presence in the past, present and future. Teach this as a sung response and use in prayer. Outline a large ALLELUIA (teach its meaning) and stick the pictures gathered earlier of the risen Jesus Make badges on which is We are a resurrection people and alleluia is our song. Children to wear or make for another class. Write a class paragraph about the Season of Easter. Easter is the most important Season in the Church Year. The Easter Season is for 50 days and every Sunday. For the 50 days of Easter, on every Sunday, in every Mass and in the sacraments we celebrate the new Life of Jesus. Use Luke 24: 1-12 and wonder with the children; How the women felt when they saw that the stone was gone; Why the disciples didn t believe the women; Why Peter went to the tomb; How you would respond if you were one of the disciples. Organise two or three visits to the church over Holy Week or during the Easter Season and notice the changes and preparations for the liturgical events. Help the children compose a small ritual for use with their families eg Have a candle and small symbol eg Easter egg to share 1. Light the candle and explain why we have this candle. 2. Gathering prayer to address God, eg Loving God 3. Short thank you to God for the Resurrection. 4. Share the Easter Egg 5. Hymn
