Skate legend Jamie Thomas kept things meaningful this Holy Week, sharing moments from church and welcoming a new member through baptism.
For many Christians around the world, Holy Week is one of the most important times of the year.
This refers to the days leading up to Easter, beginning with Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered Jerusalem, and moving through key moments like Holy Wednesday, which remembers His betrayal, Maundy Thursday and the Last Supper, and Good Friday, which reflects on His crucifixion.

The week ends with Holy Saturday, a quiet day before Easter Sunday. While traditions can differ between churches, the focus stays the same, which is remembering the final days of Jesus Christ and what they mean for believers today.
Within the skate community, faith has quietly been a part of many lives over the years.
Skate legends like Brian Sumner have long been open about their beliefs, and this week showed that the connection between skate culture and Christianity is still very much present.

Jamie shared a glimpse of how he spent Good Friday, posting about a church service and tagging Venture Church in California. It was a simple post, but it gave followers a look into how he observes the week.
Not long after, he shared another moment that stood out even more. A new member of their Christian community was baptized.
Baptism is a big step for many believers, symbolizing a public commitment and a new chapter, and it is often seen as a powerful part of someone’s spiritual life.
Seeing moments like this from someone as influential as Jamie shows a different side of skateboarding culture.
It was just a real moment shared during an important week, showing faith, community, and a sense of purpose that goes beyond street skating.
