Holy Week Messages

Montreat Conference Center
Holy Week
During Holy Week, we recall the events leading up to Jesus' death and Resurrection. This week on our social media we are sharing posts for Holy Week that include a reference to a Bible passage, a stanza from a hymn, and a prayer from the Book of Common Worship. Follow along on our posts to read our messages from Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday.
Post for Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday / 28 March 2021

Mark 11:1–11
Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, !Hosanna!    
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!    
Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
—Mark 11:8–10
Ride on! Ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die; O Christ, thy triumphs now begin o'er captive death and conquered sin.
—Henry Hart Milman (Glory to God, hymn 198)

---

We praise you, O God, for your redemption of the world through Jesus Christ, who entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph and was proclaimed Messiah and king by those who spread garments and branches along the way. Amen.
