Holy Week is the week leading up to Easter. It begins with Palm Sunday and is a week of solemn reflections on the events leading up to Easter. 

The Breakdown of the Holy Week

Holy Monday

Jesus cleanses the temple and curses

the fig tree; God prepares those who

will accept His sacrifice.

Holy Tuesday

Jesus teaches in the temple for the last

time; God sends the invitation to come

and enjoy His sacrifice.

Holy Wednesday

Judas betrays, Mary perfumes; God

waits for the response to the invitation.

Holy Thursday

Jesus offers His body and blood in the

last supper; God offers His sacrifice

Resurrection Sunday.

Good Friday

Jesus dies on the cross; God accepts His

sacrifice (a sweet smelling aroma)

Jesus is risen; God gives

us eternal life in Jesus.

(the real treasure)

Holy Saturday 

Jesus is laid in the tomb. He takes the saints from Hades to Paradise. God received his saints to Himself.
