Holy Week

Area churches offer variety of Holy Week/Easter services

By Kathy Hills and Mimi Winter

Easter, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus the Christ, is the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It falls this year on Sunday, April 8, in both the
Eastern and Western rites of Christianity. Good Friday is April 6, with Holy Saturday on April 7. As our churches reflect the diversity of our neighborhoods, there is an equally diverse religious expression during this holiday.
