Holy Week

Do u know what Holy Week means? Do u know how to call each and every day of this period?

Here we go!

Holy Week is celebrated by Christians around the world to commemorate the most important events in Christianity: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It starts with Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter Sunday which commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The days that follow are:

Holy Monday
Holy Tuesday
Holy Wednesday
Maundy Thursday - when Jesus had his Last Supper with his Apostles.
Good Friday - when Jesus was crucified and died.
Holy Saturday - when Jesus' body laid in the tomb.
Easter Sunday - when Jesus' resurrection happened.

Celebrations take place by exchanging Easter eggs, which symbolize life.

This year, my husband and I have decided to buy a Cherry Brandy egg, by Kopenhagen. We are absolutely crazy about it!!! We're still deciding what we're gonna do from Maundy Thursday on, but we may stick to sth simple this year, like having lunch in our moms' houses or sth of the kind.

What about u? How r u gonna celebrate? Leave your comments below!

  1. Hi Sabrina!!!!
    On Easter I was in my house with my family
    for one delicious lunch prepared by myself. I made a special code with potatoes,onions,olives,
    eggs and broccoli.I also made a pasta with cheese
    sauce and several salads. It was a good meeting.
    After the lunch we gave and received chocolate one from each other.So, that was a funny day for all.
