Origins
of Holy week
Early Holy Week observances began in Jerusalem
in the earliest days of the Church, when
devout Christians travelled to Jerusalem
to reenact events of the week leading
to Christ's Resurrection.
In the Christian calendar, holy week precedes
the sacred Christian festival of the Resurrection
on Easter Sunday. The term "Holy
Week" is a recent innovation, but
the annual observance of the festivals
are of ancient origin. |
