Also called the Easter Holiday, the Lord’s Resurrection is the oldest and greatest holiday of Christendom, which has brought mankind the hope of salvation and eternal life through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Good Friday is a day of great mourning for all of Christendom, because on this day Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the cross for the salvation of all mankind. The day is also called Easter Friday, Dry Friday or Passion Friday.

Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday is an important day of the Passion Week, that of Denia Mare (evening service during passion week). It is also called Black Thursday or Passion Thursday.
