Hello

Whether you call the week Holy week, Passion week, or the week before
Easter. There is no denying that this is one of the most important weeks in the founding of our Christian faith. It begins with the triumphal entry into Jerusalem and ends with the Resurrection. In between you have the Cleansing of the Temple, Miracles, Teaching, The Last Supper, Holy Communion and the arrest and execution of Jesus. While it may be an overused phrase this was indeed a pivotal week that changed human history. Here at Daily Bible Trivia we are going to use the week as our topic for trivia questions. A Blessed Easter season to all.

Thanks so much for reading and have a good day at church.
