Holy Week Poem- Performance Art
April 2, 2026

Maundy Thursday and the Performance Art of Jesus

Holy Week isn't a tidy story. It is raw and emotional and full of tension. That's why I originally created these spoken word poems that I'm sharing this year as our 365 devotionals for each day of Holy Week.


Spoken word poetry has a way of helping us hear stories and ideas differently. It is a format that makes space for grief, doubt, hope, and love to exist all at once; just like this week does. Each day, I'll be sharing another piece as we move through the story together, not just to explain it, but to feel it and maybe even find ourselves in it.
