Holy Week 2026: Journey from Palm Sunday to Easter

0:00Christians around the world are gearing up for Holy Week in 2026, kicking off of Palm Sunday on March 29th and leading right up. To Easter, on April 5th, Palm Sunday marks Jesus Christ's entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, where crowds welcomed him with palm branches and cheers, hailing him as king, just, as described in the Gospels. Today, churches hold special services with blessed palm leaves or local branches, often shaped into crosses that people take home to remember the event. The week unfolds with key moments like Jesus clearing the temple on Monday, his last teachings on Tuesday, the last supper on Thursday, the crucifixion on Good Friday, and his burial on Saturday before the resurrection celebration. This time sets the stage for Easter's joy, inviting believers to reflect on sacrifice and victory as they prepare their hearts for the big Sunday.
