Holy Week
The observance of the week during which our Lord entered
Jerusalem in triumph, celebrated his last supper with his disciples and friends,
was crucified, died and risen to new life is at the center of Christian observance.
This page contains links to the daily prayer offices of Oremus
for Holy Week. These prayer offices are designed for those who
are attending or observing their church's liturgical celebrations throughout this
holiest of weeks.
We also are linking to the liturgical provisions of the Church of England, the Anglican Church of
Australia and the Episcopal Church in the United States to help you with your planning.
But because many people are unable, or are not ready
or perhaps unwilling to attend some or all of these services at their local
church, we have provided forms based on the church's liturgies which
can be used at home or office or in small groups.
The Oremus offices will be uploaded prior to the day appointed; also the home liturgies
found below will be slightly revised and expanded.
