During Lent, Christians all around the world celebrate the season of reflection and sacrifice leading up to Easter. It’s a time for us to reflect on our own faith journeys, seek repentance, and strengthen our relationship with God.
Our Journey Through Lent
One of the most important aspects of Lent is our personal journey towards spiritual growth. As we reflect on our own lives and the teachings of Jesus Christ, we seek to become better versions of ourselves.
To help us on this journey, we can turn to resources like Bible Crafts. Liz K. has created some incredible activities for the New Testament that can be used during Lent. One such activity is centered around the Hosannah! message.
The Hosannah! Message
During Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, people greeted him with cries of “Hosannah!” This was a message of celebration, recognizing who Jesus is and what he had done for them.
This activity from Liz K. takes this message and turns it into a beautiful craft that highlights the central message of this season. It’s something that can be done as a family or even in a church setting.
Crafting Your Own Hosannah! Banner
To create your own Hosannah! banner, you will need:
- Construction paper or cardstock in the colors of your choice
- Glue or tape
- Scissors
- Gold glitter glue
- Printable Hosannah! template
Once you have gathered your supplies, follow these steps:
- Print out the Hosannah! template and cut out each letter.
- Trace the letters onto your construction paper or cardstock. You can use one color for all the letters or mix and match.
- Cut out all the letters.
- Arrange the letters on your banner. You can use a string or ribbon to hang the banner or affix it to a wooden dowel.
- Glue or tape the letters onto your banner.
- Use gold glitter glue to add some sparkle and shine to your banner.
This banner serves as a beautiful reminder of the Hosannah! message and can be a wonderful addition to your Lenten decorations.
Reflecting on Our Journeys
As we continue on our Lenten journey, let’s reflect on the ways we can draw closer to God and strengthen our relationship with Him. Let’s be mindful of our own spiritual growth and seek opportunities to serve those around us.
Lenten activities like this craft from Liz K. can be a valuable resource as we seek to become better followers of Christ. Let’s use this time to grow in our faith and to become the people God created us to be.
