Holy Week with Gaza
Holy Week embodies significant narratives central to Christian belief, illustrating a God who endured and triumphed over the agonies of oppression, torture, and execution. This triumph offers immense hope and fortitude to those enduring similar sufferings today. Through this booklet, Sabeel aims to vividly present Christ’s teachings within the historical and present-day adversities faced by our Palestinian community, particularly in Gaza. Holy Week does not only symbolize suffering and anguish but also Jesus’ approach of kindness, nonviolence, and, ultimately, resurrection—offering solace and motivation. As Christ aligned with the afflicted and urged his disciples to support those in distress, we extend an invitation to our Christian brethren worldwide to join us in discovering God amidst our trials.
This booklet, derived and expanded from the Sabeel Contemporary Way of the Cross to include the realities of Gaza within the Easter narrative, serves to aid participants of the Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage. This initiative is a network of independent Christian groups united by a common belief, participating in a contemplative act of solidarity in various cities globally. During Lent, participants emulate the journey across the Gaza Strip in a spiritual demonstration of unity.
