Holy Week & Easter

Holy Week and Easter with St. Chad’s and St. Alkmund’s, 2024

Holy Week and Easter is the most important period in the year for Christians, as we follow Christ from his Entry into Jerusalem, to the intimate Last Supper with his disciples, to share his sufferings on the Cross, and celebrate his Resurrection.
