What Worship is Held at Easter?

In 2023, Easter will be held on Sunday, April 9, 2023. The celebration is 3 days after Good Friday. In celebrating Easter, these worships are usually performed by Christians.

1. Palm Sunday

   Palm Sunday is a day of remembrance in the Roman Catholic Church. The activity was carried out in the church on the Sunday before Easter.

   Its implementation refers to events recorded in four verses of the Bible. The celebration is held to commemorate the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This was something special because Jesus was able to enter the holy city before being tortured and managed to rise from the dead.

   The symbol of the Palm Sunday celebration is a palm frond which has the meaning of victory. Christ also showed the palm branches associated with victory over sin and death.

   However, Palm Sunday is not only a momentum to commemorate Jesus' victory over death. It is also a time to remember Jesus' passion while being tortured.

   These stories will be read on Palm Sunday. Later, it will also be told again on Good Friday with a different interpretation.
