Esther's Easter
Dress: A Young Girl's Adventure Through Holy Week
 by Katherine Kafarakis
A young Greek Orthodox girl
looks forward eagerly to participating in the Good Friday
Epitaphio service, but she has no white dress to wear. As
she participates in the Holy Week services from the Saturday
of Lazarus through Good Friday and Easter, her mother
explains the meaning and the scriptures for each service.
Throughout all the week, however, she is concerned about not
having a white dress to wear for the Good Friday service
where she will participate with other young girls as a
maiden guarding Jesus' tomb. A beautiful dress is finally
provided. This fascinating book provides a beautiful
re-telling for children of the passion of Jesus as acted out
in the Orthodox Holy Week services. It includes a section on
the dyeing of Easter eggs and the baking of Pascha bread.
Illustrated with 24 lively drawings in sixteen short
chapters. For grades 2 through 6.
