No matter which religion you follow, one of the holiest times of the entire year begins in the coming days. Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week with Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus’ arrival into Jerusalem and culminates the following week with Easter. Lutheran churches in Door and Kewaunee counties focused on this week as a part of their midweek Lenten series that allowed pastors to visit with different congregations in the area to share their message. Pastor Matthew Sprunger of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Kewaunee says you cannot celebrate the miracle of Easter without reflecting on his final days that are commemorated with Maundy (or Holy) Thursday and Good Friday.

You can contact your local church to learn more about the services they will be holding as Lent comes to a close. The world’s two other major religions will also be celebrating as Christianity’s Holy Week runs April 2nd-9th. Judaism commemorates Passover April 5th-13th and Islam is already involved in its Ramadan celebration, which runs through April 20th.
