Palm Sunday is the first day of
Holy Week and celebrates Jesus' arrival
in Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Crowds of people came out of the city
to greet him, throwing down palm branches on the road.
Maundy
Thursday is the Thursday before Easter Day when Christians remember
when Jesus ate the Passover meal with his disciples, breaking bread and
drinking wine, which is now known as the Last Supper.
Good
Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates the
execution of Jesus by crucifixion.
Good Friday is a
day of mourning in church. During special Good Friday services
Christians remember Jesus' suffering and death on the cross, and what
this means for their faith.

 Easter Sunday marks Jesus' resurrection.
After
Jesus was crucified on Good Friday, his body
was taken down from the cross, and buried in a cave tomb. The tomb was
guarded by Roman Soldiers and an enormous stone was put over the
entrance, so that no-one could steal the body.
On
the Sunday, Mary Magdalene, followed later by some of Jesus' disciples,
visited the tomb and found that the stone had been moved, and that
Jesus' body had gone.
Jesus himself was seen that day by Mary
and the disciples, and for forty days afterwards by many people. His
followers realised that God had raised Jesus from the dead. Christians
call this the Resurrection.
