Resurrection Sunday 2025
2025-04-20 11:01 - 13:30
Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Meaning and Significance:

The Resurrection of Jesus: Easter Sunday marks the central tenet of Christian faith – the belief that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, rose from the dead, conquering sin and death. This event is seen as the ultimate victory of good over evil and offers hope for eternal life to believers.
Fulfillment of Prophecy: Christians believe the resurrection fulfilled Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah’s suffering and rising again.
New Beginnings and Hope: Easter symbolizes new beginnings, renewal, and the hope of salvation. It signifies the start of a new life in Christ for believers.

Good Friday 2025
2025-04-18 19:00 - 21:00
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ at Calvary.
Meaning and Significance:

Commemoration of Christ’s Crucifixion: Good Friday is primarily a day to remember the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Christians believe that Jesus’ death was a sacrifice to atone for humanity’s sins, offering the possibility of redemption and eternal life.
Part of the Paschal Triduum: It is the second day of the Paschal Triduum, the three holiest days in the Christian calendar, which also includes Maundy Thursday (the Last Supper) and Easter Sunday (the Resurrection).
A Day of Mourning and Reflection: Unlike the celebratory nature of Easter, Good Friday is a day of sorrow, penance, and somber reflection on the immense sacrifice made by Jesus.

Palm Sunday 2025
2025-04-13 11:00 - 13:30
Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus Christ’s triumphant entry into Jerusalem, an event recorded in all four Gospels.
Meaning and Significance:

Triumphal Entry: Palm Sunday celebrates the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a young donkey, fulfilling an Old Testament prophecy (Zechariah 9:9). The crowds greeted him with great enthusiasm, waving palm branches, laying them and their cloaks on the road before him, and shouting praises such as “Hosanna to the Son of David!” and “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9).
Recognition of Jesus as King: The waving of palm branches was a customary way to honor royalty and welcome a victor. The crowd’s actions and words signified their recognition of Jesus as the Messiah, their king.
Beginning of Holy Week: Palm Sunday marks a shift in the tone of the liturgical season. While it begins with joy and celebration, it quickly transitions into a week of reflection on Jesus’ suffering, death, and ultimate resurrection.
Fulfillment of Prophecy: Jesus’ humble entry on a donkey, rather than a warhorse, symbolized his role as a peaceful and humble king, contrasting with the earthly, military rulers many expected.
