Holy Week is the most important week of the Church's year, marking the time from Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem through to his Last Supper, Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, Death on the Cross and his Rising from the Dead on the Third Day. This week is marked liturgically with special services each day, culminating in the great Easter Triduum (three days) of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday, when the services mark specific events in the Passion. All are welcome to join us at any of the services during this most Holy Week.
