Holy Week is the most sacred week of the year in the Orthodox Church, leading the faithful through the final earthly days of Christ, His Passion, His death, His burial, and His glorious Resurrection. The services, hymns, and readings of these days draw the heart into repentance, watchfulness, sorrow, and hope as the Church prepares to celebrate Pascha.
Many people find Orthodox Holy Week powerful, beautiful, and unlike anything they have experienced before. Writing on these days helps explain the meaning of each service and invites readers to enter more deeply into the prayer and spiritual life of the Church during the holiest days of the Christian year.
