The Observance of Holy Week April 10 - 16, 2022

2021-2022 Church Year Calendar Our Sacred Roots: The Priesthood of All Believers

Holy Week recalls the events of our Lord’s suffering and death. We recall his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, his giving of the commandments on Maundy Thursday, his crucifixion and burial on Good Friday, and the solemn vigil of Saturday night before Easter Sunday.

“a Nation thru Messiah’s blood”

1 Peter 1.18 -19 . . . knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

Holy Week is the final week of Lent. In the ancient Church, new converts used Lent’s entire period to pray, fast, and repent as intense preparation for their baptism on Easter morning. We continue their tradition, walking in Jesus’s way of the cross, entering into his lowliness and humiliation. The services of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (called the “Paschal Triduum”) represent the most solemn days of the Church Year. Here we see most clearly the love of the Father and the obedience of his Son in voluntary sacrifice in laying down his life for the world.
