Also on Palm (Passion) Sunday; Holy Week; Holy Priesthood and Eucharist; Good Friday; Holy Christs Descent into Hades; and Christ is Risen! Then Paschaltime and Christs Ascension, Pentecost. A rich tapestry of scriptural reflections and Customs and Traditions to bring it all to life! Were in a fantastic world when were in the world of Lent!
