This practical Catholic resource for young people is intended to help them prepare for Easter in a fresh, enjoyable and meaningful way. A Crown for Christ examines what it was about Jesus that made him a king. As the young people share in the events ad feelings experienced by Jesus before his death and resurrection, they focus in the 'jewels' of goodness revealed by the things he said and did on the way to the cross. Through reflection and prayer, they can learn more about the person of Jesus and understand how they can personally follow him better.
This material is flexible enough for it to be used with a broad spectrum of ages within a parish community, schools searching for new ideas, families wanting to add meaning to the events of Holy Week and anyone wanting to approach Easter from a new perspective. ... The readings and activities can be split between the six Sundays leading up to Easter or as a meditation on the Way of the Cross during Holy Week itself
