Holy Week

The oldest and most important Christian festival
The Christian faith is founded on Jesus' resurrection from the dead. Jesus is the one he had proclaimed himself to be: God's Messiah, our Savior. In him we have a life that is stronger than death.

A week of dramatic events
The Easter festival lasts one week (called "the Holy Week") and marks the end of Lent, which is a period of 40 fast days. The week begins with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday.

Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday focuses on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on a donkey. The people receive and honor Jesus as a king, singing and waving palm branches.

Maundy Thursday

Easter, Festival of the Resurrection
Celebrates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead and his victory over death. An angel announced: "Don't be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen." (Matthew 28:5-6, NLT)
