Episode Summary

On April 20th, Orthodox Christians worldwide will celebrate Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week. A time of the year that is completely different from the rest, Holy Week is a time that reminds us of the undying love of Jesus Christ. A time that He was accepted as “the King of Israel” at the gates of the city, only to be mocked and killed by the same people only a few days later. A time of joyful sorrow, we learn about suffering love – a love that was shown by our Lord Jesus Christ on the Cross, as He opened His arms to all of humanity.

 Today we discuss Holy Week: From Passion to Resurrection, Part 2.
