Passion Week, also known as Holy Week, is a significant time in the Christian calendar that commemorates the final week of Jesus Christ's life before His crucifixion and resurrection. The timeline of events during this week is both dramatic and emotionally charged, beginning with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and ending with His resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Throughout the week, Jesus engaged in several pivotal moments, including the Last Supper with His disciples, His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, His trial and sentencing by Pontius Pilate, His crucifixion, and His burial. These events are crucial to understanding the significance of Jesus' sacrifice and the message of hope and redemption that lies at the heart of our Christian faith.
