Holy Week begins on March 29 in 2026, marking a profoundly significant period in the Christian liturgical calendar. Catholic communities observe the week through prayer, worship, and reflection on Jesus Christ’s final days, Passion, death, and Resurrection. Orthodox Christians also commemorate these sacred events, although their calendar places Holy Week on different dates in 2026. As an International observance, Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday and progresses through Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. The solemn sequence culminates in Easter, fostering contemplation, devotion, and spiritual renewal among Christian communities worldwide.
