The Christ in us greets the Christ in you

Holy Week is the most sacred period in the Christian calendar, beginning with Palm Sunday and leading up to Easter Sunday. During this week we commemorate the final days of Jesus Christ’s life, including his entry into Jerusalem, his suffering, crucifixion, and ultimately his resurrection.

Within Holy Week, the Easter Triduum forms its climax. The word “Triduum” means “three days,” and it spans from the evening of Maundy Thursday through Good Friday to the evening of Holy Saturday. These days recall the Last Supper, Jesus’ crucifixion and death, and his burial, culminating in the celebration of his resurrection at Easter. Together, Holy Week and the Easter Triduum invite us, Christians, into a deep journey of reflection, sacrifice, and hope, moving from suffering to new life.

Yours in Christ,

 

The Very Revd Moses Thabethe
