The week prior to Easter Sunday is called Holy Week, which includes several other important Christian holidays, including: Maundy Thursday (honoring Jesus’ last supper with his disciples), Good Friday (the day of his crucifixion) and Holy Saturday (commemorates the time between the crucifixion and resurrection).
