The Easter Triduum
The Easter Triduum: On Holy Thursday 2nd April we remember the last night that Jesus spent with his disciples, the gift of himself that he gave them, and then his walk into the Garden of Gethsemane, his agony and arrest. On Good Friday morning we relive his trial before the Sanhedrin and his arraignment before Pilate, the scourging, and finally the crucifixion on Calvary and burial in the nearby tomb. On Holy Saturday we recall the three days and nights he spent in the tomb before Easter Sunday.

I gave the bracelet to a friend of mine for as a birthday gift. I prayed over it and she absolutely loves it. Now every one wants one. I will visit your store to get more.

I love the meaning behind the bracelet.
Its something I have been using every day and I noticed it's starting to fade.

It was great experience, instant reply for my inquiries. I would suggest to receive an email when the delivery is completed but not sure if those shall be done by the courier guy or the bookshop. All in all you were very helpful when I contacted you. Thank you 🙏🏻
