WIELKI TYDZIEŃ To Ostatnie dni Wielkiego Postu od Niedzieli Palmowej do wieczora Wielkiego Czwartku, a następnie Triduum Paschalne. During Holy Week, we commemorate the Passion of Christ, Who died on Good Friday in preparation for the sins of mankind, and rose on Easter Sunday to give new life to all who believe. PALM SUNDAY commemorates the triumphal entrance of Christ into Jerusalem. The procession begins in church with the blessing of palms and reading of the Passion according to the Gospel of Matthew. The faithful would hold the palms to recall that same people who greeted Christ with shouts of joy on Palm Sunday would call for His Death on Good Friday. HOLY THURSDAY commemorates the institution of three pillars of the Catholic Faith: the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the Priesthood and the Mass. The priests of each diocese and their bishop consecrate holy oils, which are used for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Orders and the Anointing of the sick. The Mass of the Lord's Supper is celebrated after sundown. It ends with the removal of the Body of Christ from the tabernacle. The Eucharist is carried in procession to another place where it is kept overnight, to be distributed during the commemoration of the Lord's Passion on Good Friday HOLY FRIDAY commemorates the Passion and death of Jesus Christ. It is the one day of the year on which Mass is not celebrated. The three part Good Friday ceremony consists of the reading of the Passion from Gospel of John, the Veneration of the Cross, and a Communion service. The Eucharist consumed on Good Friday was consecrated on Holy Thursday. Good Friday is a day of strict fasting and abstinence. HOLY SATURDAY commemorates the day when Jesus Christ lay in the tomb after his death. It is also known as Easter Eve and is the last day of Lent. Many Christians attend an Easter vigil service on Holy Saturday. Families prepare for Easter Sunday celebrations on the Saturday before Easter. Children decorate eggs that later are placed in Easter baskets. EASTER SUNDAY we celebrate the Resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that day Jesus was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. NIEDZIELA PALMOWA rozpoczyna Wielki Tydzień, w którym obchodzi się pamiątkę Męki śmierci i Zmartwychwstania Chrystusa. W tym dniu święci się palmy i organizuje procesję. Wszystkie Msze św. są wspomnieniem uroczystego wjazdu Pana Jezusa do Jerozolimy, a szczególnie przypomina o tym, poświęcenie palm. TRIDUUM PASCHALNE: WIELKI CZWARTEK Msze Św. odprawia się kościołach katedralnych. Biskup koncelebruje z kapłanami z diecezji uroczystą Mszę św. z poświęceniem Krzyżma (oliwa zmieszana z balsmem, używane w sakramencie bierzmowania i sakramencie chrztu) i oleju chorych. We wszystkich innych kościołach odprawia się tylko jedną Mszę św. wieczorem. Nazywamy ją "Mszą Wieczerzy Pańskiej". WIELKI PIĄTEK W tym dniu gromadzimy się na sprawowaniu pamiątki męki i śmierci Jezusa Chrystusa. Liturgia zaprasza do rozważania biblijnego opisu męki Pańskiej, a następnie adoracji i uczczenia Krzyża świętego. W tym dniu nie odprawia się Mszy św. Po liturgii eucharystycznej Ciało Chrystusa przenosi się uroczyście do adoracji do tak zwanego Grobu, Pańskiego.Przez cały dzień, wierni nawiedzają Grób Pański i czuwają na modlitwie. WIELKA SOBOTA W tym dniu święci się pokarmy. W Polsce wierni przynoszą je w pięknie przystrojonych koszykach. Nie powinno w nich zabraknąć baranka, który symbolizuje Chrystusa. Każdy pokarm ma swoje znaczenie : chrzan to znak męki Pana Jezusa, która zamieniła się w słodycz, a symbolem tej słodyczy jest masło. Jajka, symbolizują nowe życie Zmartwychwstałego Pana. Przez święcenie pokarmów, Kościół błogosławi byt doczesny; podkreśla dostojność ciała, które w tym dniu osiągnęło nieśmiertelność. WIGILIA PASCHALNA Noc paschalną rozjaśnia zmartwychwstały Chrystus. Jest to najważniejsze wydarzenie w dziejach świata i ludzkości. W niej dokonało się przejście ze śmierci do nowego życia, przez zmartwychwstanie. Cała liturgia, pełna jest symboli życia. Uroczystym ogłoszeniem zmartwychwstania Chrystusa i wezwania całego stworzenia do udziału w tryumfie Zmartwychwstałego jest Procesja Rezurekcyjna. NIEDZIELA WIELKANOCNA Rozpoczyna się Wigilią Paschalną, czyli Mszą Św. Zmartwychwstania Pana, sprawowaną w sobotę wieczorem lub w nocy.
