Holy Week - Origins and Meaning

What does Holy Week mean for Christians? What is the purpose of some of the traditions and customs surrounding this special week that have come down to us and that we continue to practice? These questions and many other related matters are the subject of this book.

In a masterful way, as he has accustomed us to, Dr. Justo L. González tells us what his purpose is in writing this book: "To bring Holy Week into our lives by showing us how our earliest ancestors in the faith observed it, not to invite them thoughtlessly, or out of mere antiquarian curiosity, but to help us practice aspects that truly place us back in relation to our glorious past and our unparalleled future... the important thing is that what we do takes us back to those great events that constitute the foundation of our faith."
