Holy Week (the week preceding Easter) commemorates the incidents leading up to the day of Jesus’
resurrection. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Holy Saturday. Easter Sunday then becomes the
celebration of His resurrection.
By recognizing these holiest of days, is to believe beyond all doubt, that the soul is eternal. And it is to believe
that the love of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, is the one thing we experience that will last and remain for
all eternity.
