Holy Week

Introduction
Holy Week is the final week of Jesus Christ's life, most tragic yet the most triumphal part of His life.Christians observe it is a week of devout observance, commemorating the Passion and Jesus' death on the cross.

Origins of Holy week
Early Holy Week observances began in Jerusalem in the earliest days of the Church, when devout Christians travelled to Jerusalem to reenact events of the week leading to Christ's Resurrection. In the Christian calendar, holy week precedes the sacred Christian festival of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. The term "Holy Week" is a recent innovation, but the annual observance of the festivals are of ancient origin.

Significance of Holy week
Holy Week is a very sacred part of the Christian calendar, when Christians observe the death and resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ who takes away the sins of the world. Purpose of Holy Week is to reenact, relive, and feel the passion of Jesus Christ. Important days of Holy week are named Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. In the Eastern Church, it is called the "Great week".

Palm Sunday
On Palm Sunday, accompanied by his disciples, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt, while crowds of people covered the streets ahead of him with their cloaks and with palm branches symbolizing victory. Many churches observe Palm Sunday services with large palm branches being carried in processions.

Tradeshow Banner Stands

One of the most effective marketing strategy for businesses is tradeshow banner stands. Yes this is very visible to every individual. You will notice some of them when you are in the mall. I can still remember when I was still working before. If we plan for a marketing activity for the month. I normally send letter to our suppliers to sponsor our tradeshow banner stands cost. We are fortunate that they always contribute and very supportive. Well, we are promoting their product for them, so it reasonable enough for them to help.

Mountain Climbing Season

How I wish we are having our vacation in the Philippines right now. You know why? Because it is the mountain climbing season. Yes, during the holy week many mountaineers would plan for a mountain climbing trip to different mountains in the Philippines. I can still remember 4 years ago when I celebrated my 26th birthday at the peak of Mt. Matutum in General Santos City. It was very challenging and very memorable to me. It was my first time and it was very worth it and I had so much fun. Hopefully we can do that again and of course by that time hubby's gonna be with us..Yipey!
