In explaining Holy Week to my granddaughter, I began with Palm Sunday. Jesus is in a parade riding on a donkey. People are waving palms, like we wave little flags. Hard to imagine what is going to happen in a week. Anyway, back to the story. Jesus' donkey.
I couldn't find a donkey to illustrate that Jesus chose humble transportation, rather than a majestic horse, elephant, camel, or a carriage. A donkey. All I could find was a chia pet donkey. Hey, I work with what I have. I made it work. Kindof.
It's not so bad. It's the donkey from Shrek, and this donkey is a good donkey. Everyone loves him. My granddaughter thought that Donkey would be proud to carry Jesus. She got it.
