Holy Week is a sacred time for Christians around the world—a time to pause, reflect, and draw closer to God by remembering the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But how can you truly connect with the spiritual depth of these days?
Bible journaling offers a powerful way to engage your heart, mind, and soul in meaningful reflection.
Whether you're new to Bible journaling or looking for ways to deepen your practice during Easter week, this guide will help you experience Holy Week like never before.
✨ Why Is Bible Journaling Powerful During Holy Week?
Bible journaling during Holy Week allows you to slow down and meditate on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Instead of simply reading Scripture, you're creatively interacting with it—highlighting verses, writing prayers, drawing reflections, and letting God speak to you in a personal way.
📖 “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities...” – Isaiah 53:5
When you journal this verse and illustrate it with your thoughts or art, it becomes more than just text—it becomes a heartfelt conversation with God.
🙏 How to Reflect During Holy Week with Bible Journaling
Here are a few Bible journaling tips and Holy Week ideas to reflect spiritually each day:
