Countdown to Holy Week
days until Palm Sunday
The three holiest days of the year — Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday — form one continuous liturgical celebration of Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
The Great Vigil on Holy Saturday evening is the "mother of all vigils" — when the Church keeps watch, awaiting the Resurrection of the Lord. The new fire is blessed, the Paschal candle is lit, and the faithful renew their baptismal promises.
