Please visit our Easter dedication page with the names of loved ones in whose name an Easter lily was donated to the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land.
The honorees also are included in a prayer album placed at the Monastery and will be remembered in the friars’ prayers at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America at Easter.
May you have a blessed Holy Week and Easter.
Our annual Easter tradition is back! Order Easter lilies for yourself or friends — and donate lilies to the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America in honor/memory of your loved ones.
Your dedicated lilies will be placed in the beautiful and historic church for Easter and your loved ones remembered in a prayer list at the Church, in the friars prayers, and on a tribute page on this website.
Lilies are $12 each (a change due to an increase in cost to the Garden Guild). Online orders only this year.
If you would like a postcard you can send to a friend you are honoring, email us (include your contact information).
We are grateful to those who have dedicated luminarias to be placed at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land this Christmas season to honor and remember loved ones.
We invite you to visit our tribute page and to reflect and pray for those listed. Each person will be remembered in the prayers of the Friars from Christmas Eve to New Year’s Eve.
The Blessing and Lighting of the Luminaria is Christmas Eve, 1 p.m., at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land, 1400 Quincy St. NE, Washington, DC 20017. The lanterns will remain lighted through New Year’s Eve. Please visit, enjoy the beauty of the lights at this historic monastery, and spend time in prayer and thanksgiving. Merry Christmas!
