Holy Week in Verges lies at the heart of this journey, but the festivals and traditions around it begin before Palm Sunday and continue beyond Easter. This guide brings the site’s articles together in chronological order so you can follow each stage.
We use “Paschal Cycle” here as the thread connecting this wider journey. Holy Week has its own guide; this page also covers the lead-up through Lent, the Easter season and the celebrations that follow.
Before Holy Week
From Carnival to the start of Lent, these articles explore the lead-up to Easter and explain why its date changes each year.
From Palm Sunday to the Resurrection
Palm Sunday opens Holy Week. In Verges, Maundy Thursday brings the Procession and the Dance of Death, followed by Good Friday and the joy of Easter. The Holy Week guide covers the full sequence of days.
From Easter to Corpus Christi
Easter does not end on Resurrection Sunday. The octave, Ascension and Pentecost lead on to Trinity Sunday and Corpus Christi.
