It’s the tradition of the church to refrain from using the word “Alleluia” in worship during the season of Lent. We collectively hold our breath until for all of Lent until with glad shouts we proclaim Christ’s resurrection at Easter.

We bury the Alleluia and await the joy of Easter.

As we have done in the past, we will invite our children to “bury the Alleluia” this Sunday as we sing the word one last time. Here is a photo from a previous year. We may finally even have enough snow in which to bury it this year!
