Abstract
COVID-19 has posed a challenge not only to our ways of being but also to our religious beliefs. This article takes on Holy Week, the major liturgical season of Christianity, to rethink both its theological meanings and its known rituals. It takes the earth as the beginning point to understand this dense week, the many forms of death, loss, grief, fear and calls for possibilities of resurrection for the earth if, like the women who went to visit Jesus, we prepare the way for our collective resurrection.
