All Catholics all over the world commemorated the Passion of Christ during the holy week. This is the Lent season's last week. The Catholic Church's influence marked and will continue to shape our
ever-changing world history.
The reason why Catholics celebrate the
holy week is to relive, reenact, and take part in the sufferings of the Lord. The theme and the mode of celebration are usually similar for both the eastern and western churches except for certain days because the eastern believers utilize the Julian Calendar. What counts a lot is the memory and the sacrifices that the Lord has made in order to save mankind from the fires of hell.
The holy week is religiously celebrated especially in predominantly Catholic countries like
beautiful Spain, Italy, and the Philippines. The celebration starts on Holy Monday, followed by the Holy Tuesday and Wednesday. Holy Thursday is the communion's institution and Judas' betrayal of Jesus. Good Friday is the suffering, the death, and the burial of the Lord. The Holy Saturday is called Sabbath day because Jesus took a rest in his tomb. Then, the Eastern Sunday is the resurrection of the Lord.
