Celebrating Holy Week BY BETH SCOTTThe upcoming week before Easter is possiblythemostHolyWeek in theChristian religion.ThecelebrationsbeginonPalmSunday,whichsignifies Christ’s triumphant entrance intoJerusalemandfulfilledtheprophecyinZechariah9:9:Rejoicegreatly,ODaughterofZion!Shout,Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comesto you, righteous and having salvation, gentleandridingonadonkey,onacolt,thefoalofadonkey.(NIV) “ItisthebeginningofthePassionofChristwhich really sets up His last week on earth,”said Father Bill Hritsko, priest at CoshoctonSacredHeart.“It’ssortofthebeginningofthemovement from being recognized as king tobeingkilledasa traitor.Fromproclamationofgreatness, toHisdeathas a criminal, and thenHisresurrection.” As a sign of high honor, the people ofJerusalem shouted, “Hosanna”, which intranslationmeans“deliver”or“saveus”.Theyalso removed their cloaks to spread beforeJesuson thegroundaswell aspalmbranches.Manychurchesthroughouttheworldgiveeachmember of their congregation a palm leaf onPalmSundayinremembranceofChrist’sarrivalinJerusalem.ThesepalmsarethencrushedandburnedthenextyeartomarkthesignofthecrossonAshWednesdayatthebeginningofthenextLentenseason. “These palms that were hanging in yourhouseforayearthatyouhadasaremembranceofHistriumpharebroughtbacktoremindyouof our need for salvation from Christ,” saidFatherHritsko.“Sothesethingsthatweregivenin His honor are brought back to remind usofourneed forHim.So thepalmsareburnedand thengrounded and thenused as the ashesfor Ash Wednesday as you’re marked withthe triumph. You’remarked with the signof triumph, which isthe cross. With theashes as a symbol ofour sinfulness and ourneedforredemption.” As a renewal totheir priestly promise,the Catholic Churchcelebrates ChrismMass on Tuesdayof Holy Week. It isnamedafterthesacredChrism where oneof three Holy Oilsis consecrated andblessed on that day.These oils are alsoused for baptisms,confirmation, andas consecration ofsomething to God. Insome places, this iscelebratedonThursday
morning, but because Thursday has its ownspecialmeaning,mostchurcheshavemovedtheChrismMasstoTuesday. On Wednesday, the Catholic ChurchcontinuestheirHolyWeekcelebrationswiththeTenebrae,orserviceofdarkness,whichremindsusof thedarknessofour sin and theneed forsalvationfromChrist.Theserviceisconductedin complete darkness with eight candles lit.Through a series of Scripture and song, eachcandle isextinguishedwithaprayeruntilonlyone candle is lit, representing the Light ofChrist.Finally,even thatcandle is takenawayand the church is completely devoid of light,representingwhattheworldwouldbelikeifwehadnotbeen saved.The light is then returnedremindingusthatChrististheonlyLightoftheworld. MaundyThursdaycelebratesthebeginningoftheinstitutionoftheHolyCommunionfromChristtohisdisciples.ThewordMaundycomesfromMandatum,whichmeans command, andcomes from Christ’s new commandment thatwearetoloveoneanotherasHehaslovedus.ItisalsothedaywhenJudasbetraysJesustotheRomansoldiersfor30coinsofsilver. MaundyThursdayalsobeginstheTriduum,or the Three Holy Days leading up to Easter.Although the service lasts for three days, it isconducted like one long service in unity. Theservice on Thursdaybeginswithablessingandhasnobenedictionuntil Saturday night.The service onThursday begins indarkness. A fire iskindled and blessed,and is used to light
the Easter candle, which represents Christ inthe church.Other candles are lit, one for eachpersoninthechurch,usingtheEastercandle. “Welightothercandles foreachperson inthe church.

New Life Ministries serving others
MISSION WORK Mission teams from New Beginnings Ministries recently returned from Paintsville, Ky., which was devastated by a tornado. While there they helped local residents sort through debris and search mostly for photos. The church also prepares and serves food at the Ronald McDonald House, which is across from Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus. The church does this to help lift some of the burden and expenses placed on families who have children in the hospital. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON
