Orthodox Christians start marking Holy Week
World
On April 29, Orthodox Christians mark Holy Monday, the first day of the Holy Week leading to Easter.
The faithful continue fasting during the Holy Week that commemorates the last week of the earthly life of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Canonical Gospels.
The Holy Week will see the faithful continue their fasting that will be especially strict during Holy Friday, the Day of the Crucifixion dedicated to the passions of the Christ.
The Holy Week culminates in Easter Sunday, the most important day in the Church year, during which Jesus rose from the dead.
