For us next week is the Holy Pascal Week, since we use the old calendar. On this Sunday we'll have Palm Sunday, and after that we'll have the General Funeral service, since if anyone departs during the Holy Week we don't have a funeral since we're supposed to be so focused on the suffering of Christ. Then starting Sunday night, each morning and evening we go to Church and read the Old Testament prophacies of Christ, and read about His Passion each day, progressing through it with Him. We also sing the Pascal Hymn, and do prostrations in the morning. On Thurs we have a 7 hr Liturgy for the washing of the feet. On Fri morning/afternoon we have a 5 hr Liturgy for Good friday. Friday night at midnight until Sat morning at 7:00 am we have a 7 hr Liturgy for bright Saturday (celebrating the descent into Hell, where Christ freed the righteous who were captive there and lead them to Heaven), and Sat night from 7:00 to midnight we celebrate Ressurection Sunday with the Liturgy of St. Gregory. During the week we fast more than during Lent, in addition to fasting until a certain hour (traditionally 3:00 pm), and only eating vegan foods, we also don't eat anything sweet. We don't watch TV or listen to non-spiritual music during this time, as we are just to focus on the Passion of Christ. Starting Wed night, we don't kiss, shake hands, etc, until Sunday because of Judas' kiss. After midnight on Sat, after the Ressurection Liturgy, everyone goes to friend's and families' house to have a meal and break the fast, then goes home a sleeps, then meet again on Sunday for a meal.
