January 27 marks the commemoration of the Jewish Holocaust Memorial. April 6-13 honors Yom HaShoah or Holocaust Memorial Day. The Holocaust Memorial is remembered on this day because it is the day which the Russians liberated the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz in Poland. An estimated 6 million Jewish people died in what Heinrich Himmler of Hitler's third Reich called the Final Solution to the 'Jewish Problem'. This 'final solution' was part of Hitler's envisioned plan of 'ethnic cleansing' or the removal of a group of people of a certain nationality. It entailed the systematic repression, containment in ghettos, transport to extermination camps and mass slaughter of anyone with Jewish nationality. The term genocide has been applied to this type of wholesale murder; genocide refers to the killing of an entire genus or population. Holocaust is a Biblical term from the Torah and the Old Testament referring to a large burnt offering in expiation for sin. Sadly, the term paints an all-too-vivid picture of demise of the Hebrew people in WWII. Jewish Holocaust Memorial Lesson Plans and Web HelpFree Catholic Lent, Holy Week, Bible Easter Printables
Easter is the major feast day in the Catholic church. For forty days of Lent, Catholics fast (give things up and refrain from certain activities). We pray, read the Bible, give alms and journey with Our Lord in His walk to Golgotha. Lent is like an inward spiritual pilgrimage that takes place amidst our everyday lives. Children in the Catholic faith take part in this journey as well. Some are making first reconciliation and are preparing for first Holy Eucharist. Palm Sunday kicks off Holy Week. We spend extra time this week at mass and in prayer. At the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, catecumens and candidates will be welcomed into the Church. Many will be baptized. The new Easter candle is lit for the first time. The sacred oils are blessed on Holy Thursday. The parish priest renews his vows of ordination. The Holy Eucharist is placed in repose for the three days of the triduum in a solemn and lovely pageant.
