During Holy Week we remember the last days of the Saviour's life on earth

For the Orthodox Church, the 29th of April marks the beginning of Holy Week - a profound period dedicated to the contemplation of the life of the Saviour and the preparation for the Holy Resurrection.

Immediately after the great Christian feast of Palm Sunday, which commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, Lent enters its most poignant phase. This is the week when we solemnly reflect on the last days of the Saviour's earthly journey, culminating in His crucifixion, undertaken to free humanity from its sins for the sake of salvation. 

The profound messages of Holy Week - the eternal struggle between good and evil and the importance of the Sacrament of the Eucharist after the forty days of Lent - are told in this publication from the collection of Radio Bulgaria.
