Holy Week & Easter 2009
From Palm Sunday through Easter
The events of Holy Week recall the last days of Jesus’ life, from his entry into Jerusalem on a donkey amid crowds with palm branches through his time in the Garden, arrest, and Trial to his crucifixion. On Easter Day we celebrate Christ’s triumph over death and God’s promise of life.
