Holy Week in 2021 from April 26 to May 1
Holy Week is no longer Lent or even Lent – it is a separate time. You can say so: Lent (the first 40 days) is the time when we go to meet God. Holy Week is the time when the Lord comes to meet us. It goes through suffering, through the Last Supper, the arrest, Calvary, the descent into hell, and finally to Easter. He overcomes the last barriers that separate us from God.
