Holy Week: A Period of Great Reverence and Reflection

The season of  Lent  gives way to the celebration of  Easter  in Holy Week, the most sacred period of the liturgical calendar. 

Holy Week is the most important week in Catholicism. This week of great reverence and reflection “includes both the Church’s most solemn observances and joyous feasts. Unique, beautiful liturgies fill the period of time that begins on Palm Sunday and culminates with Easter Sunday.”

This year, Holy Week affords us an excellent opportunity to recommit to prayer and draw close to God.
