Bring Easter energy to your children by using these free printable Easter crafts for kids to play with while learning new things. One thing you may need to know about Easter Day is about Holy Week; you can read the explanation here.

What is Holy Week?

Holy Week, also known as Easter Week, is an eight-day period during which we may reflect on the transformation in mankind that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross initiated. It occurs each year during the final week of Lent; hence, the dates of Easter Week vary from year to year. This makes Holy Week and all of its days a "moveable feast," observed by Christians all across the world.

It all starts on Palm Sunday when Jesus enters Jerusalem. The first started with the Last Supper. After the day follows His crucifixion and Easter Sunday with His resurrection.

This is the foundation of Christianity; His sacrifice inaugurated the New Covenant that God had promised and that many had foretold about throughout the Old Testament. Each day of Holy Week provides us with a close-up look into the heart of our Savior. Every crucial step toward the cross, every breath up to the last, and His resurrection all express His love for us.

Many Christians regard Holy Week as a particular time to focus on Lent and their religion before celebrating Easter. They might reflect on the sacrifices they believe Jesus Christ made for mankind prior to celebrating his resurrection. Because "passion" can sometimes refer to pain, Holy Week is also known as "Passion Week."

Where does Holy Week come from?

Christians are said to have celebrated Easter Week since the third century, or almost 1700 years ago! Christians were urged at the time to fast for a week in order to experience a portion of the agony that they think Jesus endured for them.

According to historical records, public companies were required to close for the week preceding and following Easter Sunday. Historians and theologians are divided on whether these manuscripts are authentic. Whether or not the records are authentic, Holy Week has a lengthy history.

Many individuals mark Holy Week by attending Christian and Catholic Easter services. Varied Christian cultures have different ways of commemorating the week. There are special church services, processions, and re-enactments of Jesus' life and crucifixion, for example.

On Good Friday, Christians ponder the significance of the Crucifixion and key Christian themes. There are hymns, prayers, and sermons in certain churches.

Easter Sunday is the day when it is believed that Jesus was resurrected. Special church services are held, and some individuals consume hot cross buns. Some people even wake up early for a morning service since it is believed that Jesus was resurrected at dawn.
