HOLY
WEEK
PALM SUNDAY,
HOLY THURSDAY,
GOOD FRIDAY |
Palm Sunday
The Sunday before Easter
commemorating Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. Also referred
to as Passion Sunday, since we read the account of
Jesus' passion and death. Palm Sunday also begins Holy
Week, the week leading up to Easter.
Holy Thursday
Catholic
families incorporate a family meal into their Holy
Thursday Observance along with attending the Mass of
the Lord’s Supper at their own parish.
Jesus Christ the Messiah has already come and
instituted the Eucharist at the Last Supper.
As
soon as the family is gathered for the Holy Eucharist,
John 13:1- 17 is read and a bowl, pitcher of water and
towel are brought. Then the Priest and Deacon in turn follow
Christ’s example in the washing of the feet of 12
parishioners. Holy Thursday is a big feast day at
St. Ailbe Church, potluck dishes are brought to the
Church Hall where everyone gathers
after Mass for a delicious meal .

Good Friday is
the day that marks when Jesus Christ was crucified on the
cross for our salvation. Today the whole Church mourns the
death of Jesus. Good Friday is a day of fast and
abstinence. Catholics are also supposed to meditate and
pray between the hours of noon to three o'clock in the
afternoon.
These
are the hours Jesus hung on the cross.
