Description of what happened

Palm Sunday

Jesus enters Jerusalem, greeted by crowds waving palms and shouting “Hosanna to the Son of David” because they believed Jesus was like a king.

MondayTuesday & Wed

Jesus throws out the money changers from the Temple because a temple should only be a house of God, and not a market place. He also teaches in the Temple

Maundy Thursday

Jesus washed the disciples feet to show they should also serve other people, humbly. At the Last Supper, he makes the bread and wine his Body and Blood: this still happens whenever his sacrifice is remembered at mass.

Good Friday

Jesus is crucified with 2 thieves either side. He forgives his killers and enemies. He dies to defeat the worst evils – death and sin.

Holy Saturday

Jesus is lying dead in the tomb, waiting for his resurrection. Some people say his soul went down to the underworld, to free those with unforgiven sins, who were waiting for him.

Easter Sunday

Jesus breaks the power of sin and death by coming back to life. Mary Magdalene sees him first, then His disciples. They also touch him, to confirm he is really alive.
