Added Saturday, April 20, 2019: This is my finished calendar update, with the drawings complete through today in Holy Week. Though my drawings end with the sorrow and darkness of Holy Saturday, there is joy in our faith of Easter's resurrection.
In the past, I've used a variety of templates (click here for more of my Lent and Easter posts, or here for my Advent calendar posts). You can find this grid and other templates on my friend Sybil's Praying in Color blog, along with her current Lent calendar drawing.
