Holy Week and Easter 2012

Worship

Holy Week is the most important week of the Christian year, when from Palm Sunday to Easter Day we follow Jesus in the last week of his life. This year we follow St John's account of the Passion, entering into the experience and meaning of those eight days - from Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, through the desolation of his crucifIxion, to his glorious resurrection.
