If your personality were matched to one of the Christian church saints, which one would it be? Now you can use the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator to match your personal church style. Beneath the humor you might just think about how you celebrate Holy Week. Image used with permission of Church of the Resurrection (Wheaton, Ill.).
During Holy Week, the week leading up to Easter, during which Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, different personalities will be attracted to different expressions of worship. For example, introverts might be found hiding in the bathroom while the extroverts might hoard Palm Sunday leaves for display.
Church of the Resurrection, an Anglican Church in Wheaton, Ill., has created the following graphic to illustrate how the different personalities of patron saints correspond with Myers-Briggs personality types. Are you St. Francis or perhaps St. Joan (of Arc)? Check it out.

I liked your FamVin post today about the various saints and their personality types and how they would approach Holy Week. I have to confess that from year to year, my perspective on Holy Week changes.
I found myself yesterday during the reading of the Passion reflecting so much about Peter. The passage is so familiar that it sometimes gets lost in the length of the reading and the mixed voices uttering it. But, I focused more on that section yesterday, putting myself in his sandals, and realized two things:
1. According to Mark, all the disciples said they would not deny him. Peter actually showed up to have someone record his denial. In John’s account, he is there also, but no one else. That says something for “showing up” even if you make questionable choices.
2. So often, we fail to recognize and acknowledge Jesus during our home visits (or in the discussions about the visit later). In so many ways, we too are denying Him in that circumstance. That’s a humbling, sobering thought.
