Holy Week

In the West, yesterday (Palm Sunday) began Holy Week. Holy Week is the final week of Lent leading up to Easter, and recalls the final events of the life of Jesus, including his death on a cross. Holy Week is a busy time for most Catholics, Anglicans, Orthodox, Lutherans, and others.

I wish everyone a blessed and meaningful Holy Week. May we truly experience in symbol the crucifixion and death of Christ as we prepare for the Easter season, when we celebrate his resurrection and victory over death.

    In the East also…

    This year Easter was the same for all of us.

    Our Feast of the Annunciation also fell on Holy Saturday….

    In 2035 we will celebrate Kyropascha - Good Friday and the Feast of the Annunciation will fall on the same day.
