The Sunday of the Passion or Palm Sunday begins the last week of Lent, known as Holy Week. During this holiest time of the church year, the worship services relive the final week of our Lord's human life. Holy Week includes Maundy Thursday, when Christians observe Christ's "Last Supper" -- the institution of the Sacrament of Holy Communion -- and the mandate to serve one another in love. Good Friday commemorates the imprisonment, trial and death by crucifixion of Jesus. Emmanuel marks this church festival day with a Tenebrae service. While Gospel readings are read and hymns are sung, the lights in the sanctuary are gradually extinguished until the sanctuary is completely dark.
