Being a christian we always remember about this holy week mostly roman catholic celebrets Holy Week in the Christian year is the week immediately preceding Easter.me and my family gatherd and attend the mass to the church praying and joining procesion of our saints.its good to witness the rituals being believe of christians , How about you? how do you celebret Holy week?
Holy week..
I'm actually surprised, because I work for the government (UK) and we're closing early on Thursday to start the holidays early. I think this is pretty cool to recognise that a lot of people still go to church for Maundy Thursday/Good Friday, etc. I know the UK is "officially" Christian, but it's not something you're used to seeing in government.
I'm a Catholic and live in the Philippines. There's a traditional Passion play over here called the Senakulo, where people act Christ's suffering. Every year, we do the Church Visit or more commonly known here as 'Bisita Iglesia' during Maundy Thursday night wherein we go to various churches to pray.
Enjoy the Holy Week but don't forget to remember Christ.

Im a Keri-ist. I believe in spiritualism not religion. I think a relationship with
"Gawd" "the One Source" "the great architect" etc etc should be a personal
thing. I don't wait for people to tell me when to celebrate Life, every week
is a holy week, every day a miracle. I hope you enjoy your celebration this
wekk but I encourage everyone to celebrate eveyday, every second, worship
always - you never know when this chance will be your last.
anyhow you asked....no offence of course to those who
practice the various religions.

I'm a Roman Catholic in Jamaica and pretty much goto all the church services for the holidays. There are clashes over here with the season though because jamaican carnival is during the same time and the churches dont agree with that type of behaviour.. especially during this holy season.
im an atheist and i started the holy week by getting drunk on paddys day (Y)
I don't celebrate it. I'm not an atheist or anything, I'm just not religious.
I dont do too much, observe the no meat on fridays, and then easter sunday we have a big feast... We go to church on palm sunday, collect the palm, and keep it in our car for the year until the next palm sunday...
Will all the time im in church its good felling you volunter to assist in the mass or other activities in the church. i Christianism is good pratice.
I almost entirely forgot about it, woke up quite hungover on Sunday morning (which always makes me feel very religious for some reason. I don't know why - I've not been brought up surrounded by Catholic Guilt or anything) and didn't intend to do anything, yet somehow ended up at church in the morning and then again in the evening to watch some people I know getting baptised.
I also had a nice fry-up for lunch and snuggled down in bed with a few friends... just slobbed out, really.
I'm simultaneously obsessed with/perched comfortably on the fence about Christianity, so it was interesting to have a valid excuse to bring the topic up in conversation, but I'm not sure that the holiday made me question things any more than normal.
