“Journey to Pascha” lesson plans now available

Six educational lessons titled our “Journey to Pascha” are now available on the Orthodox Church in America’s web site.

Produced by the OCA Department of Christian Education as part of its ongoing FOCUS curriculum, the study unit provides lesson plans and resources that can be used on five levels, ranging from pre-kindergarten through adult.

The unit begins with a presentation of the story of the resurrection of Lazarus, the celebration of Jesus’ joyous entrance into Jerusalem, and the events commemorated on each day of Holy Week. It goes on to review Jesus’ final teachings to His disciples and the events leading to His trial, crucifixion, death, and resurrection.

Each lesson includes a comprehensive introduction and supplementary material.
