Holy Week runs from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, and its last three days have their own name, the TRIDUUM: Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and the Easter VIGIL on Saturday night. MAUNDY comes from the Latin mandatum, the new commandment given at the Last Supper. This holy week word find covers the services of that week; the easter grid on this site covers the holiday morning itself.
Frequently asked questions
What is TENEBRAE?
A service of readings held in the evening during the last days of Holy Week, in which candles are put out one by one until the church is dark. The name is Latin for darkness.
Why do churches hand out PALMS?
They recall the branches waved when Jesus entered Jerusalem, the moment the crowd shouted HOSANNA. Many parishes keep the palms and burn them the next year to make ashes for Ash Wednesday.
