A little explainer for the upcoming minority holiday

I hope your Pesach preparations are proceeding apace! As we all prepare for Pesach, some of our Christian students and staff may be preparing for their own week of holidays, which, however, does not coincide with Pesach. The week commemorates the last week before the Christian prophet Yeshu’s execution. This “Christian Holy Week,” more commonly known as Shavua Ha’Kadosh Ha’Christian, is fixed to days of the week according to a special calculation, with the first and last days falling on “Sunday,” their word for Firstday. Christian holidays all follow the <a href="http://gregcal.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Pope Gregory calendar</a> but they do not all follow the same liturgical calendar, and not all Christians keep the same Holy Week. Most Christians in Medinat America come from the Ashkenazi Christian ethnic group that celebrate Western dates of “Christian Holy Week.” These dates can be found on <a href="http://www.gregcal.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">GregCal</a>; the Mizrachi Christian calendar may differ. <a href="https://medium.com/@jewwhohasitall/a-little-explainer-for-the-upcoming-minority-holiday-42665d017f2b">Website</a>
