Understanding Holy Week: Its Significance and Impact on Faith

By Rev. Dorothy S. Boulware | Word In Black (WIB) – Christian theology views Jesus’ death as a redemptive ransom, reclaiming His followers. While many see Him as a compassionate savior, His resistance is often overlooked. Holy Week serves as a time for reflection on the journey to His ultimate sacrifice, leading to resurrection. Known as the week preceding Easter, it begins with Palm Sunday, symbolizing both triumph and protest against imperial power, while faith leaders today echo this spirit of resistance through community efforts.
