Holy Week begins on Sunday, 13th April 2025, which is Palm Sunday. Maundy Thursday marks the beginning of the Triduum (three days) which recall the passion or suffering of Jesus, his death, burial and, finally his resurrection.  Those three days are Maundy or Holy Thursday (17th April this year), Good Friday (18th April), and Easter Eve (19th April).  In 2025 Easter Day is on Sunday 20th April.
