In the Christian calendar, Holy Week is the week before Resurrection Sunday (also known as Easter). It begins on Palm Sunday, and also includes Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. During Holy Week, the events of Christ's passion are commemorated, including His Last Supper, betrayal and crucifixion.
Holy Week is one of the most important parts of the Christian year, particularly for Roman Catholics, and sees elaborate celebrations in many parts of the world including Italy, Spain, Mexico, and other countries in Latin America.
