Branch 4: Desert to Garden

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day.

1 Corinthians 15:3

In this branch, pupils will study the season of Lent and its culmination in the events of Holy Week. They will learn about the Paschal Triduum at the heart of the Catholic Church’s Liturgy and life. The title of this branch points both to the liturgical journey from the desert of Lent to the garden of Resurrection, but also to the Paschal journey from darkness to light, barrenness to fruitfulness, death to life.
