"Holy Week (sometimes called “Great Week” or “Passion Week”) is an 8-day period—from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday—commemorated each year, particularly in the High Church Christian traditions of Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism/Episcopalianism, and by some Lutherans and Methodists. Because Easter is the holiest time in the Christian liturgical calendar, Holy Week provides an opportunity for practitioners of the faith to reflect on their personal sinfulness and their need for Christ (and His sacrifice on their behalf). The historic events commemorated each year (during Holy Week) symbolically represent a transition in the human condition. Whereas Adam and Eve provoked a fall, by which all people have become sinful and estranged from their God; Jesus (through the events of this sacred week) reversed the effects of the fall, making it possible for all to return to God."
