Holy Week Begins in Pasadena with Palm Sunday
The pews of Pasadena’s churches will be filled with worshipers today and in the coming days as Christians across the city gather to commemorate the most sacred time of their faith: Holy Week.
From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, the faithful will retrace the final days of Jesus Christ — Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem shortly before his death, his crucifixion, and his resurrection — through a series of solemn rituals, heartfelt reflections, and joyous celebrations.
“This is a moment for us to really reflect on the mystery of our redemption — the mystery of God’s love for us,” said Archbishop José H. Gomez, who will celebrate the 10 a.m. English-language Palm Sunday Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles.
