Let Your Gift Be Like Leaven — Small, Quiet, and Full of Hope for the Holy Land.

Ash Wednesday: Parable of the Leaven

How something small and hidden transforms everything.

What does Jesus mean when He compares the Kingdom of Heaven to leaven?

From Mount Zion to the baking ovens of Jerusalem, we explore the biblical meaning of leaven in Scripture. Drawing on the teachings of St. Paul and the Old Testament, this episode reveals how God’s Kingdom works quietly yet powerfully from within.

As Lent begins, this parable invites us to trust in the hidden work of God, who transforms the whole through what seems small and unseen.
