Commemorating the events of the Lord’s passion, death, and Resurrection is a tradition of the Church stretching back to the earliest of days with Christians re-telling the story of Jesus to one another and to converts. When Constantine recognized the Christian Faith, his mother the Empress Helena, travelled to the Holy land between 326-328 and visited some of the sites revered as Holy by Christians, particularly in Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Jerusalem. The oldest churches built as Christian churches date from that time.

The theologian Kenneth Leech once famously said, “The cross is not a problem to be understood, but a mystery into which we enter.” That is what we do when we make pilgrimage; that is what we do when we celebrate the liturgy. We do it through song and by engaging with all the senses. Let us truly enter into this Holy Week of the Lord in order to experience the joy of his Resurrection.
