Holy Week and the Stations of the Cross

The Church recently celebrated Holy week. This week I'm just going to give a short description of each day and its meaning for those new to the faith.

Palm Sunday: Sunday before Easter Sunday when in the bible people put palm branches down to celebrate the coming of Jesus to Jeruselem.

Holy Thursday: We celebrate the Last supper as well as the washing of the feet.

Good Friday: The day that Jesus Died on the cross for our sins. There was a great earthquake at the moment of HIs death.

Holy Saturday: Jesus descended to hell to proclaim the gospel to the dead and bring salvation to souls.

Easter Sunday: the third day when Jesus was raised from the dead, rolling away the stone defeating death and rising! Giving us all new life! Saving us from sin and giving us a chance at eternal life in Heaven with the Father.

Each year more and more people are joining the faith of Christ at the Easter VIgil ! Alleluia!

The Stations of the cross that we prayed on the Fridays as we go along the Passion of Christ with Him in Lent include:

1 Jesus is Condemned to Death

2 Jesus Carries the Cross

3Jesus Falls the First Time

4Jesus Meets His Mother

5 Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross

My 2023 song "Amen" is one that I wrote with Holy Week in mind.
