About the Songs of Ascent

Something to do

(1) Before Solomon built the temple (God’s house) in Jerusalem, people went to Shiloh to *worship. Read what happened to Hannah when she went there: 1 Samuel 1:3-20.

(2) About 2000 years ago, people were travelling long distances in order to *worship God in Jerusalem. They even travelled there from foreign countries, although the journey was often difficult and dangerous. Read these Bible passages about people who did this. They are from the Book of Acts in the *New Testament: Acts 2:5-11; Acts 8:27-28.

(3) Read about Jesus’ last journey to Jerusalem. He went on this journey immediately before the sacred holiday called the Passover. See Mark 10:32 to Mark 11:10.
