Holy Week is , for Christians , the week before Easter and the last part of Lent . It is intended to commemorate the Passion of Christ. The Easter Triduum of the Passion and Resurrection of Christ begins on Thursday evening of this week and ends on the evening of Easter Sunday. These three days are the high point of the liturgical year because it was by his death that Christ destroyed death and it was by rising again that he restored life.

Orthodox Christians call it Great Week . Romanian Orthodox Christians most often call it the Week of Sufferings . The services of Holy Week have the particularity of beginning with Compline and Matins and ending with Vespers (whereas it is normally the Vespers service that begins the liturgical day).

Holy Week consists of liturgical ceremonies that take place only once a year. The first of these is Palm Sunday .
