Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, marks the beginning of Holy Week.
Holy Week is the annual Christian observance commemorating Jesus' last week on earth and the events leading up to his resurrection on
Easter Sunday. It is the final week of
Lent, and the week prior to Easter Sunday. The dates of Holy Week are defined by the date of Easter Sunday, which is a moveable feast, and therefore it falls on different dates from year to year.
Holy Week commences on
Palm Sunday and ends on
Holy Saturday (often referred to - wrongly - as
Easter Saturday). It includes the Christian observances and solemn holidays of
Holy Thursday (
Maundy Thursday) and
Holy Friday (
Good Friday).
Holy Week does not include Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday, the first day of
Easter Week, immediately follows Holy Week and is its culmination – a day of joyous celebration.
In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Holy Week starts on
Lazarus Saturday, the day before Palm Sunday.
