Holy Week

Holy week is the week that leads up to Easter, the holiest day in the Christian calendar. It is a time of great religious significance, as it commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday, when Christians celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It ends on Easter Sunday, when Christians celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead.

During Holy Week, Christians attend special services and participate in special rituals. For example, on Maundy Thursday, the Church remembers the Last Supper. On Good Friday, Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. On Holy Saturday, Christians commemorate the burial of Jesus Christ. On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Holy Week is a time of great joy and celebration for Christians. It is a time to reflect on the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection, and to have one’s faithfulness renewed for another year.
