Holy Week
We begin our
community's special
observation of Holy
Week on Monday. April
10 th 2006. You will
receive daily updates from
Ms. Vanessa Roberts
Director of Student
Activities informing
you of the special events
taking place each day
during the coming week.
Recognizing the diverse
Christian and theological
traditions represented
in our community
allow me to attempt a
brief explanation and
offer a few thoughts
regarding the significance
of Holy Week lor the
Christian Faith.
Holy Week is the last
week of Lent the week
immediately preceding
Easter Sunday. Holy
Week observances began
in Jerusalem in the earliest
days of the Church when
devout people traveled to
Jerusalem at Passover to
reenact the events of the
week leading up to the
Resurrection. It continues
to be observed in many
Christian churches today
as a time to commemorate
and reenact the suffering
(Passion) and death of
Jesus through various
observances and services
of worship. Observances
during this week range
from daily liturgical
services in churches to
informal meetings in
homes to participate in
a traditional Passover
meal called the seder.
T-shirt Sale to
T-shirts will be on sale at EVERY
home game this season.
In addition they will also be avail-
able anytimd in Shane Hill's office

a most visible reminder of
the high regard in which
the University is held
within the community.
Thanks for your strong
commitment to a quality
learning experience for
our students folks

Holy Week is
fundamentally the same
in the eastern and western
Church but because
Eastern Christians use the
Julian calendar to calculate
Faster the celebrations
occur at different times.
Roughly speaking the
Western Church consists
of Protestants. Catholics
and Anglicans. The
Eastern Church consists
of the Eastern Orthodox
churches the Oriental
Orthodox churches and
the eastern-rite churches
affiliated with the Roman
Catholic Church.
In Catholic tradition
the conclusion to the
week is called the Easter
Triduum (a triduum is a
space of three days usually
accompanying a church
festival or holy days that
are devoted to special
prayer and observance).
Some liturgical traditions
such as Lutherans simply
refer to "The Three Days."
The Easter Triduum begins
Thursday evening of Holy
Week with Eucharist and
concludes with evening
prayers Easter Sunday.
Increasingly
evangelical protcstant
churches that have tended
to look with suspicion on
truditional "High-Church"
observances of Holy
Week are now realizing
the value of Holy Week
services especially on
Good Friday. This has
a solid theological basis
both in Scripture and in
the traditions of the Faith.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
the German theologian
who was executed by
the Nazis wrote of the
Cost of Discipleship and
warned of "cheap grace"
that did not take seriously
either the gravity of
sin or the radical call
to scrvanthood: "When
Jesus bids a man come he
bids him come and die."
It is this dimension
that is well served by
Holy Week observances
as they call us to move
behind the joyful
celebration of Easter and
focus on the suffering
humiliation and death
that is part of Holy
Week. It is important
to place the hope of the
Resurrection the promise
of newness and life
against the background
of death and endings.
It is only in walking
through the shadows and
darkness of Holy Week
and Good Friday only
in realizing the horror
and magnitude of sin
and its consequences
in the world resulting
in the crucifying of
Christ on the cross

the ending and despair
that the disciples felt
on Holy Saturday that
we can truly understand
the light and hope of
the Easter celebration'
In observing this
truth that new beginnings
come from endings many
people are able to diavv a
parable of their own lives
and faith journey from
the observances of Holy
Week. In providing people
with the opportunity
to experience this truth
in liturgy symbol
worship and fellowship.
Holy Week becomes a
powerful proclamation
of the transformative
power of the Gospel and
God at work in the lives
of people.
I hope you
will all make
some "holy
time" during
your busy week
to enter into the
