Holy Week invites families to pause, reflect, and reconnect.
If you’re looking for something meaningful to watch with your loved ones, especially the kids, select episodes of Superbook Season 5 air on Kapamilya Channel at 6 AM from April 14 to 18 for Superbook’s Holy Week Marathon!
Superbook is an animated show where Chris, Joy, and their robot friend, Gizmo, time-travel through Bible stories, with plenty of lessons along the way.
And for the Superbook Holy Week marathon, the episodes don’t just retell Bible stories. They ask real questions, highlight everyday struggles, and offer quiet moments for reflection.
Here are five reasons to tune in:
1. The episodes ask questions we all wrestle with
The April 14 episode, Nicodemus, shows Chris on a youth ski trip, unsure about what it really means to follow Jesus. Superbook brings him to Jerusalem, where he witnesses Nicodemus meeting Jesus in secret. Chris returns home with a clearer understanding of faith.
His journey mirrors the questions many of us ask: What does it mean to believe in Jesus? What will change in me?
2. It reminds us that faith takes time
In the episode about The Sermon on the Mount, Chris and Joy get inspired by Jesus’ words and try to live them out. Their efforts go sideways — not because they don’t care, but because they misunderstand. Even the disciples struggle to grasp the message.
This episode doesn’t present faith as something easy. It shows that everyone is a work-in-progress, and everyone can grow and change from past mistakes.
3. It puts the spotlight on small acts with big meaning
On April 16, The Widow’s Mite focuses on a simple act of giving. A poor widow places two small coins in the Temple treasury. Jesus praises her because she gave all she had.
Chris watches this unfold and rethinks how he views giving. The episode points to a truth that often gets overlooked: the value of generosity, no matter how small.
4. It challenges how we see others
The April 17 episode, Jesus: Friend of Sinners, shows Jesus choosing to spend time with people who are often ignored or judged. Joy struggles to understand why, but she sees the love behind His actions.
The episode pulls from the Parable of the Great Supper, the calling of Matthew, the tax collector, and the sinful woman who approached Jesus. It shows how grace reaches the ones who need it most, not the ones who seem most worthy.
5. It ends the week with hope and courage
The Holy Week lineup ends on April 18 with Doubting Thomas. It’s an episode about disbelief, second chances, and finally, bold faith. The way the kids deal with fear, doubt, and courage mirrors what many of us go through, especially in uncertain times.
It doesn’t wrap up perfectly. Instead, it leaves you with a challenge: What will you do with what you believe?
Chris faces false accusations and pressure to deny the truth. Joy walks with the disciples on the road to Emmaus. Thomas refuses to believe without proof.
But Jesus meets them all where they are.
In the end, faith takes root, and courage follows. Chris also finds the strength to speak about his faith back home.
Holy Week offers space to reflect, and Superbook gives families a chance to do that together.
Mark your calendars and catch select episodes of Superbook’s Holy Week Marathon, 6 AM daily from April 14 to 18 on Kapamilya Channel!
