Our Easter Lily Sale is Back!

ORDERS NOW CLOSED

Our annual Palm Sunday Easter Lily Sale is back. This popular event supports care of the historic Franciscan Monastery gardens and our farm-fresh food donation program.

Lilies are just $10 for pick-up or donation. Pre-order your Easter lilies by April 4 for pick-up on Palm Sunday Weekend (April 9, 10-6 and April 10, 8-3) at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America, 1400 Quincy St. NE, Washington, DC 20017.

Plus, remember your loved ones this Easter by donating Easter lilies that will be placed at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land. Their names will be placed in a prayer album at the Monastery, in an online tribute on this website starting Palm Sunday, and remembered in the friars’ prayers at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America at Easter.

Posted on December 19, 2021 by Joe Bozik

Please join us at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land, 1400 Quincy St. NE, for the Blessing and Lighting of the Luminaria (everyone gets to join in the lighting!). This annual tradition is back (after a year off in 2020) on Chriastmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1 p.m.

We hope to see you there! The lights will remain lighted through New Year’s Eve. Each candle will have the name of a loved one, remembered in the friars’ prayers throughout Christmas Week.

The names also will be posted on this website, on our luminaria tribute page, by Dec. 24.

Have a blessed Christmas!

Donate luminaria for Seven Nights of Lights

Orders closed

“Seven Nights of Lights” is back at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America this year.

Donate luminarias in honor/in memory of your loved ones and their names will be placed on a luminaria placed at the Monastery from Dec. 24-31, 2021, listed on the Luminaria Tribute page on this website, and included in the friars’ daily prayers.

Also join us at the Franciscan Monastery (1400 Quincy St. NE, Washington, DC) on Dec. 24, 2021, 1 p.m., for the blessing and lighting of the luminaria.

By donating a luminaria, you not only honor your loved ones in a special way, but you also support the care and preservation of the historic Monastery gardens, as well as the Franciscan Monastery Garden Guild’s fresh farm program, critical to helping address hunger in our community.

Orders must be received by Dec. 18, 2021, so we can prepare the candles with your loved ones names.

Thank you for your support and have a Blessed Advent and Christmas.
