IMPORTANT 2015 Note – I’ve just discovered that links to quite a number of the posts below are no longer working even though the posts are still online here at Lent & Beyond. WordPress seems to have changed something in its permalink system. I’m working on fixing the problem. In the meantime, should you get a “page not found” message, copy a portion of the title into the blog’s search bar and you should find the post. The problem is mostly for Good Friday entries. My apologies!

2014 Note: I’ve been working slowly on reorganizing and updating this. I have, however, already updated our Palm Sunday and Good Friday compilations. Here are those links.
You can also browse our Holy Week category.
