FRIDAY

WALT: Understand what a holy day is and

justify why we celebrate holy days.

The word holiday comes from holyday.

In times past the only holiday anyone had was a saint’s feast day or important feast days like Easter and Christmas.

Some days of the year are ‘holy days’, when we celebrate these special times in the Church’s year.

We have just celebrated the feast of Easter when we

remember Jesus rising from the dead.

One special word we sing at Easter time to celebrate is

‘Alleluia!’

Can you think of other holy days
