Holy Moly! Holy Week Begins

Yesterday was Palm Sunday, which marks the beginning of Holy Week for Catholics. Mass began with the blessing of the palms. This reminds Catholics about the crowds who waved palm branches at Jesus demonstrating their belief that he was the Messiah.

Holy Week is an important and busy time for Catholics. On Holy Thursday, mass is celebrated in remembrance of the Last Supper. Friday is Good Friday and the only day during the year that Catholics do not celebrate mass. Many attend the stations of the cross or other prayer services to honor the day Jesus died. Catholics celebrate the Easter vigil on Saturday, which is a longer mass celebration. During this time, the Easter candle is blessed. Finally, Easter Sunday mass is a joyous celebration of Jesus' resurrection.

Happy Holy Week everybody!
