Very Young Catholics in Brazil follows children during Holy Week and Easter!
Three children are our guide to the life of their beautiful parish, with its "Stairway of the Three Saints." Their funny chatter and the beauty of their Brazilian coastal city offer a sunshiny backdrop for the Santa Semana, the Brazilian name for Holy Week.
With an appropriately sober tone for the ceremonies that occur over Holy Thursday and Good Friday, including the washing of the feet, the institution of the Eucharist, and a reenactment of the Stations of the Cross. The story continues through the exuberant celebration of Easter Sunday and beyond!
Author Emily Koczela is a lifelong Catholic, mother of six, and grandmother of fifteen (so far). Her travels have taken her to Mass in more than a dozen countries. She wrote this series to delight and inspire children by introducing them to their brothers and sisters around the world.
