Holy Week explained

 This is the greatest week of the Church year, we are invited to travel with Jesus from his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, join him at the Last Supper, watch with him in the Garden of Gethsemane, walk with him as he carries his cross to Golgotha, stand beside his mother Mary and his beloved disciple as Jesus dies on the cross, and then watch with the Mary's as he is taken down and buried in the cave. From that time when he is buried we will wait in hope until the light of Christ enters the Church and we join together as we joyfully sing out the 'A' word Alleluia, which we don't say during Lent.  

For two videos a three minute video about Holy Week, followed by a longer video by Fr Andrew Allman, Parish Priest at St Clare's Preston, who give a talk explaining the events of Holy Week.  This is about an hour and so you may want to watch in short episodes throughout the week.
