How to Keep Passion Week
HOW TO KEEP PASSION WEEK BY CHARLES KINGSLEY: Passion Week, also known as Holy Week, is the final week of Lent in the Christian calendar. It commemorates the last days of Jesus' life, including his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, his Last Supper with the disciples, and his crucifixion and resurrection. To keep Passion Week, one can observe the following traditions: 1. Attend church services: Participate in special services and liturgies that mark each day of Holy Week, including Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. 2. Reflect on Jesus' teachings: Read and reflect on Jesus' teachings and sermons, particularly those given during the Last Supper. 3. Practice acts of self-denial: Engage in acts of self-denial, such as fasting or giving up a favorite activity, to emulate Jesus' sacrifice. 4. Participate in the Stations of the Cross: Visit a local church or create your own path through which to walk and reflect on the events of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. 5. Attend a Tenebrae service: This service commemorates the darkness and despair of Good Friday, with readings and prayers that evoke the somber mood of the day.
