I look forward to Holy Week every year. I plan on going to the Holy Thursday service tonight at my parish. I was asked to be one of the "disciples" during the foot washing, which is a first for me. On Good Friday, I plan on going to the service at our local Byzantine Catholic church. It is a long but very beautiful service. In the Byzantine rite, the Good Friday service has no Eucharist and one venerates the shroud rather than the cross. On Holy Saturday, I will go to Easter Vigil at my parish. I would be interested in hearing about what you do for Holy Week.

That is interesting about the Byzantine rite venerates the Shroud Armand!

There's a hill behind my Mum's house. There's a tradition that 3 crosses are carried up from 3 of the surrounding villages and a service is held at around 3pm. The local bishop came and presided over the service. There were around 100 people of all ages plus dogs and horses.
