The high point of the Christian calendar, Holy Week, starts on Palm Sunday, and concludes on Holy Saturday. During Holy Week the Church celebrates the mysteries of salvation accomplished by Christ during His last days of life on earth, beginning with His messianic entrance into Jerusalem. The Lenten season lasts until Holy Thursday this week, and the Easter Triduum begins with evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday.
This year’s Holy Week and Easter will be observed under very different circumstances due to the coronavirus pandemic.
