Holy Week
Holy Week – the week that begins on Palm Sunday and ends with Easter
Day, is the most important time of the year for Christians. From
as early as the 4th century AD, Christians have remembered and
celebrated the major events of Jesus' last days on earth: his
arrest, trial, crucifixion and resurrection, as these events frame
our deepest beliefs. Beginning with Palm Sunday – Jesus'
triumphant entrance into Jerusalem that leads to his arrest and the
beginning of these events, every part of our Christian story is
told. Maundy Thursday commemorates Jesus' last supper with his
disciples; on Good Friday, we remember Jesus' crucifixion and death;
the Great Vigil of Easter is the pinnacle celebration, when the new
light of Christ is brought into the darkened church and the whole of
salvation history is recollected as we celebrate the resurrection.
Easter Day is the continuation of the joy we feel as we complete our
walk through this holiest week. Click here for details about this
