It is a Time of reflection and prayer ,is also a time of repentance from our wrongs,As the most important Christian celebration is right around the corner, we have created the Easter Holy Week timeline, based on the biblical accounts of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. In addition, the blog post tries to provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the holiday, its historical origins and significance.

Easter is also known as Latin and Greek Pascha, and it’s the most important religious holiday in Christianity. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus, followed by his resurrection from the dead, which the New Testament describes as having occurred three days after his burial. Christians see the willing oblation of Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice and a lesson in selflessness.

However, there is another key point here: Jesus’ story culminates with his triumph over death. Christians everywhere view the miraculous revival as proof that eternal life is granted to all true believers. Without it, there would be no Christian faith, and even the gospels (John 20:19, Corinthians 15:14 and Luke 24:39) report how the apostles grew disheartened following the events on Golgotha (Roman Calvary).

Holy Week includes both the Church’s most solemn observances and joyous feasts. Unique, beautiful liturgies fill the period of time that begins on Palm Sunday and culminates with Easter Sunday.

Holy Week 2024 is a great time to recommit to prayer and draw close to God.
