Holy Week in the Greek Orthodox Church takes place in the week after Lent and just before Easter. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday and follows the last week of our Lord's life before His death and resurrection.
Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week. This is the day where we celebrate the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. People tossed palm fronts at him and called him Messiah. To celebrate Orthodox Christians attend the Sunday Divine Liturgy, however, it is a special service that commemorates this event.
This is going to be a lonely Holy Week, like 2020 was, as we are not allowed to travel between regions of our country to see our loved ones.
