	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Holy Week
		Holy Week is the week which precedes the great festival of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday, and which consequently is used to commemorate the Passion of Christ, and the event which immediately led up to it.
		This is borne in solemn procession to an "altar of repose" adorned with flowers and lighted with a profusion of candles, the hymn "Pange lingua gloriosi corporis mysterium" being sung upon the way.
		The service of Holy Saturday has lost much of the significance and importance which it enjoyed in the early Christian centuries owing to the irresistible tendency manifested throughout the ages to advance the hour of its celebration.

	USCCB - (Liturgy) - Holy Week
		Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, or "Passion Sunday", which unites the royal splendour of Christ with the proclamation of his Passion"(142).
		These correspond, after the fashion of popular piety, to the small procession of friends and disciples who, having taken the body of Jesus down from the Cross, carried it to the place where there "was a tomb hewn in the rock in which no one had yet been buried" (Lk 23, 53).
		The procession of the "dead Christ" is usually conducted in austere silence, prayer, and the participation of many of the faithful, who intuit much of the significance of the Lord's burial.

		One of the primary functions of the procession was expiatory, and thus all members wore identical tunics and distinctive pointed hoods with eye holes cut in them, which divested them of their social and worldly status and rendered them equal and anonymous in their public penance.
		The processions move toward the back wall of the niche, where there may once have been a scene of the descent from the cross represented, however now it is so damaged and overpainted as to be illegible.
		Inside the church, the procession was then formally organized in the manner that we see on the south wall mural and, mirroring the directional movement of the penitents in the mural, it proceeded out the main door of the church and into the atrio.

		WITH THE THREAT of terrorism looming in the background, I was told that our parish cancelled the traditional Holy Week procession and Easter Sunday "salubong." We have been warned that the Abu Sayyaf plans to bomb churches this week in retaliation for the killing of their cohorts who tried to escape from prison.

		Holy Week is a time of reflection for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, although lately the focus has been distorted and it has become synonymous with vacation for some people.

		So the ceremonies of Holy Week, beginning with Palm Sunday, are there to be used, and this is a physical matter, a use of the body, so that all of ourselves will know.
		A procession can be seen as a sacrament, "an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace." In the same way that we read through the letter of the Scriptures to the inner truth, so we understand more by walking than we know; it is the work and gift of God.
		Meditation upon the processions of Holy Week is rightly undertaken at its commencement.

	Easter - Holy Week in Granada, Spain
		Each procession will go to the Plaza del Carmen (where the Town Hall is) and the Cathedral, so if you are anywhere in the centre you are sure to run into several processions.
		If you come to Granada in the weeks leading up to Semana Santa you might possibly run into one of the practice sessions and might wonder what a group of men are doing trying to carry a wooden structure on their heads with bags of sand, etc.
		It is hard to choose between the different processions, but perhaps my favourite two are the "Silent Procession" on Thursday (when the street lights along the route are turned off and the procession takes place in absolute silence) and the "Gypsy Procession" on Wednesday (which goes through the Albaicín/Sacromonte quarter).
