Holy Week, Easter Services in Ardmore and Wynnewood

A list of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday services in Ardmore and Wynnewood.

This week is Holy Week in the Christian calendar, which marks the last week of Lent and is followed by Easter Sunday.

During Holy Week, many Christians meditate on Jesus Christ's last week on Earth, his death and resurrection. Maundy Thursday recounts Christ's Last Supper with the Twelve Apostles and the institution of the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Services often include a foot washing ceremony.

Good Friday, the day Christians observe Christ's death, is a day of penance, and services are filled with readings, liturgy and meditation. Good Friday is followed by Easter Sunday, a day of celebration on which Christians observe Christ's resurrection.
