Holy Week and Easter Services '09
In the Christian Church, Holy Week is the last week of Lent and the week before Easter. It is a solemn time when we gather to reflect on the events leading up to Jesus' passion and crucifixion.
Good Friday, however, gives way to Easter Sunday when we celebrate Jesus' resurrection and all that it means for mankind. It is the most joyful day in the Christian calendar.
If you are looking for a church in which to worship during these special days you will be warmly welcomed throughout the diocese. Service times are published in parish magazines and websites and you will also find details and/or contact people on the Parish Pages of this site.
